Dead Zone: Der Attentäter (1983)
35KDead Zone: Der Attentäter: Directed by David Cronenberg. With Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom. A man awakens from a coma to discover he has a psychic ability.
“Christopher Walken is in his weary, paranoia-stricken best in theu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eawesome film adaptation of Stephen Kingu0026#39;s best-seller, THE DEAD ZONE. Walken plays Johnny Smith, a once-mild mannered teacher who receives a mixed blessing of predicting the future after a nasty car accident. Soon enough Smith becomes a center of attention as he predicts murders, accidents, and the like. The u0026quot;giftu0026quot; takes an even sharper turn as Smith realizes that a candidate for the presidential election (Martin Sheen, shades of THE WEST WING here?) has his sights set on nuclear domination. Walken is mesmirizing as Johnny, as the man tries in vain to cope with his power. And former PINK PANTHER actor Herbert Lom also shines as Johnnyu0026#39;s shrink.”
