Tickets can also be bought separately.</b> Paul Sheldon (James Caan), a respected writer having just suffered an accident, is saved and helped back to health by a nurse who purports to be his biggest fan. However, her obsession with the novelist leads her down a disturbing path as she keeps him locked away in her remote Colorado home, forcing him to resurrect through writing the beloved character he had recently killed off. Stephen King named <i>Misery</i>, Rob Reiner's second adaptation of his work after <i>Stand By Me</i> and another feather in the cap of his incredible run of directorial features in the 80s and early 90s, in his top ten film adaptations. Kathy Bates' performance as the obsessive megafan nurse Annie Wilkes famously earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress, making <i>Misery</i> the only adaptation of King's work to receive an Oscar in any category.DramaPT1H47M182025-12-26
