The Stand
2020
The end of the world is just the beginning.
After a deadly plague kills most of the world’s population, the remaining survivors split into two groups - one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a maleficent being - to face each other in a final battle between good and evil.
The PlagueMay 8, 1994 · 91m · ★ 8.0When a deadly virus escapes from a government research facility, few prove to be immune to its effects. With symptoms similar to the flu, those who come into contact with it quickly die. One survivor is Stu Redmond, a gas station attendant from Texas, who suffers no ill effects whatsoever. Kept in a medical research facility in Vermont, doctors try to determine why he is still alive. Others that also survive include Frannie Goldsmith who lives with her dad; Nick Andros, a deaf-mute; a rock musician, Larry Underwood; and Lloyd Henreid, in jail for murder. Survivors begin to have dreams, either about an old Afican-American woman, Mother Abigail, or a much scarier evil man.
The DreamsMay 9, 1994 · 91m · ★ 8.2The plague has taken its toll and only those immune to the virus are alive. The forces of good and evil are slowly taking shape. Those that have been dreaming about Mother Abigail are slowly making their way towards her in Nebraska. Stu Redmond joins up with Frannie Goldsmith and others. When Nick Andros and the first of the travelers arrive, Mother Abigail tells them they will soon be moving further west, to Colorado. Randall Flagg is gathering his own forces as he releases Lloyd Henreid from jail. Through her dreams, he also recruits Nadine Cross, who had been traveling with Larry Underwood.
The BetrayalMay 11, 1994 · 92m · ★ 7.4Hundreds are now in Boulder, Colorado with Mother Abigail but Randall Flagg has sent Nadine Cross to infiltrate the group.

The StandMay 12, 1994 · 93m · ★ 6.6The final confrontation between good and evil takes shape. Tom gathers information and tries to return to Boulder.

Never finish watching this. Seriously. Also never finish reading the book. The Stand was Kings best book (arguably) right up until the end. And, unfortunately this is King's best made-for-TV adaptation up until the end. The ending kind of really stinks. But everything up until the end is three ways of total awesomeness.
