Adapted from a
Stephen King novel,
Rob Reiner's
Misery cast
James Caan as a writer at a career crossroads. The film opens with
Paul Sheldon (
Caan) completing work on his latest novel, a break from his popular series of novels featuring the character
Misery Chastain. He gets into a severe car accident and is saved by
Annie Wilkes (
Kathy Bates), a reclusive woman who nurses him back to health.
Annie is a huge fan of the
Misery novels, and she finishes reading the new one while
Paul is convalescing. She becomes enraged when she discovers that
Paul has killed off
Misery.
Annie injures
Paul's foot severely so that he is unable to leave her house, and forces him to write a new
Misery novel. A local sheriff (
Richard Farnsworth) and
Paul's agent (
Lauren Bacall) both attempt to track down what happened to the missing author.
Misery shot the relatively unknown
Kathy Bates to stardom, winning her one of the few Best Actress Oscars ever bestowed for portraying an evil character.
