“The Dead Zone” does what only a good supernatural thriller can do: It makes us forget it is supernatural. Like “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Exorcist,” it tells its story so strongly through the lives of sympathetic, believable people that we not only forgive the gimmicks, we accept them.
Johnny Smith is a schoolteacher with his whole life ahead of him but, after leaving his fiancee's home one night, is involved in a car crash which leaves him in a coma for 5 years.
Synopsis. In the Maine small town of Castle Rock, school teacher Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) takes his fiancée sweetheart Sarah (Brooke Adams) to an amusement park. On the roller coaster, he suffers a bad headache and tells her that he must go home to sleep it off.
