WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
After a man-made virus called Captain Trips wipes 99% of mankind off the face of the planet, a small group of survivors in the American heartland are left to pick up the pieces and build a new civilisation. Even with most of humanity dead, the final remnants of humanity are once again divided, but this time by far more than just political squabbling. With loyalties divided between the saintly Mother Abagail Freemantle (Whoopi Goldberg) on one side and the devilish - perhaps literally - Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard) on the other, what's left of humanity are drawn into a supernatural battle between good and evil with the final fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Based on the acclaimed best-selling epic novel by Stephen King.
