| Storyline: |
|
Based on the characters and story from the best-selling book by Stephen King, “The Dead Zone” is a unique psychological thriller that combines a rich mix of action, the paranormal and a continuing quest for justice.
Based on characters from Stephen King's novel, The Dead Zone, this sci-fi series explores what happens when a model citizen nearly loses his life and then wakes up six years later with psychic powers allowing him to see into the life of anyone he happens to touch. When viewers first met Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall, in a role played by Christopher Walken in David Cronenberg's 1983 adaptation), he was leading a wholesome life in a picture-perfect small town. A science teacher, Johnny was a devoted son to his widowed mother, a role model to his pupils, and a devoted fiancé to his soon to-be-wife and fellow teacher Sarah until a near-fatal accident landed him in a coma for six years. Upon waking, Johnny had to deal with the fact that the life he remembered had ceased to exist, and that his new powers were just as burdensome as they were valuable. In the third season of The Dead Zone, Johnny continues to make up for the time he missed while attempting to use his powers for the best.
This set contains all the episodes from season three of The Dead Zone.
