Stand, The: Part 1

A deadly virus. A frantic cover-up. A handful of survivors. The ultimate battle between good and evil. STEPHEN KING'S MOST POPULAR AND TERRIFYING TALE THE STAND PART 1... First there was 'IT'. Then came 'The Tommyknockers'. Now Stephen King brings to the screen a heart-stopping adaptation of his best-selling book of all time. A deadly virus is unleashed by a top secret military laboratory; virtually the entire planet's population is wiped out. The few lonely and terrified individuals who have somehow managed to escape the terrible pestilence, start out on a desperate quest to find other survivors. On their journey they find themselves drawn by two powerful forces-the soothing and benevolent Mother Abagail, who embodies all that is Good, and the satanic Randall Flagg, the personification of evil and corruption. © Spelling Entertainment
