The Stand

After a viral plague decimated 99% of the world's population, a few survivors felt themselves compelled for pilgrimages to either the Boulder compound of wise centenarian Mother Abagail Freemantle (Whoopi Goldberg)... or the Vegas stronghold of cruelly charismatic Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård). Expansive second take on Stephen King's apocalyptic chiller co-stars Greg Kinnear, James Marsden, J.K. Simmons, Amber Heard, Heather Graham, Odessa Young. 8 1/2 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
