The end of theiworld isijust theibeginning.
Enter a near future of a horrifically plague-ravaged Earth where a fraction of its population survives, compelling them to choose sides between the overwhelming forces of good and evil, in this critically acclaimed film version of Stephen King's phenomenal, number-one best-selling novel The Stand.
Millions perish, and as small, isolated frightened bands unite, the answers to their perpetual questions to justify this end of civilization are bared in their dreams - revelations that urge some to embrace a path of virtue and others to gravitate towards a sinister course of darkness. As the opposing forces separate into two camps - one led by the saintly Mother Abigail and the other demonic Randall Flagg - the noble elements try to shield themselves from their corrupt enemy, whose ruthless potency is increased by their domination of an excavated nuclear warhead. Their extreme clash of wills makes it inevitable that these remnants of humanity will soon engage in a final confrontation - The Stand - an immense and atrocious battle which could result in annihilating the power of good and hurdle the fate of the planet into the reins of evil.
This four-episode motion picture, adapted for the screen by Stephen King himself, brings to life King's terrifying epic featuring an all-star powered cast including Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Jamey Sheridan, Laura San Giacomo, Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Kareem Adul-Jabbar and Rob Lowe as "Nick Andros."
Includes These Four Episodes:
The Plague, The Dreams, The Betrayal, and The Stand.

The Stand does deliver! - 4 out of 5 (12/4/2000)
With all of the flack surrounding the DVD-18's right now, it reminded me of one of the very first DVD-18's to hit the market. "The Stand" was where it all began and what better film to start a new revolution with than the crowning glory in Stephen King's career.
The disc delivers all six hours of the miniseries which cost almost 28 million dollars to make. A pay scale that was gargantuan at that time. The script also took King over a year to write and featured over 100 speaking parts. Filming

The Best Ever! - 5 out of 5 (1/12/2007)
I loved this movie. I've seen this movie so many times...it never gets old to me. I don't really care for King movies, either, but this ranks right up there with my favorite movies of all-time.

Very long and tedious...... - 3.25 out of 5 (3/12/2000)
If this film was bit shorter it would have been better.A lot talking makes you lose the main theme of the film.I did not read the novel of this one and I think I wont after watching this film..Dialog is often silly...Cahracters are far too inconvience for this one...
This movie is not Stephens best be sure of that..
Storm of the Century which was done for tv was beyond my expectations and it was far better than this one..
I bought this dvd hoping I that I would watch a true Stephen classic
