About the film

What are the chances..? You’re a successful novelist returning to the city from a remote mountain hideaway with the manuscript of your yet-to-be published best-seller, and a snowstorm causes you to lose control of your car and end up hurt with no one around for miles. This is the fate of Paul Sheldon, a writer of romance novels as he heads back to New York from Colorado. Lucky for Paul, he’s found before he freezes to death by Annie Wilkes. She gets the writer back to the cozy warmth of her home and takes good care of him. As it turns out, not only is Annie an ex-nurse, she’s also a mega-fan of Sheldon’s novels — to say she is obsessed with them is an understatement. When Paul lets Annie read his new manuscript, however, he soon finds out that underneath Annie’s praise-lavishing and hospitable exterior lies a much darker personality that rises to the surface when Annie learns what Paul has decided to do with her favorite main character.

This Rob Reiner-directed pairing of iconic actors James Caan and Kathy Bates was a huge hit when it was released in 1990, earning Bates an Academy Award for Best Actress. Anyone who’s seen it can immediately see why…she’s incredible in this film!
