Misery 1990

Actors : James Caan, Kathy Bates, Wendy Bowers, Thomas Brunelle, Lauren Bacall

After his car crashes in the mountains during a blinding snowstorm, famous novelist Paul Sheldon is "rescued" from a car crash by Annie Wilkes, a fan obsessed with the main character in his series of novels. But when Wilkes reads his latest book--and learns he has killed her favorite character--she teaches Sheldon the real meaning of Misery. Injured and isolated far from help, Sheldon (James Caan) engages in a desperate battle of wits with Wilkes (Kathy Bates in an Academy Award-winning role) as she becomes ever more deranged and violent, burning the sole copy of his latest novel and forcing him to bring her idol back to life.
