Best-selling author Paul Sheldon (James Caan) crashes his car during a winter storm in the mountains. Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), Sheldon’s self-proclaimed “number-one fan,” discovers the wreck, drags him home, and does everything she can to nurture him back to health. Even if that involves a sledgehammer. 

Fueled by an intense, Academy Award winning performance from Bates and a relentless sense of unease, this movie elevates the spirit of classic horror movies like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? to a whole new level.
