The Missiles Are Flying - The Dead Zone (9/10) Movie CLIP (1983) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
As Johnny (Christopher Walken) shakes hands with Presidential candidate Greg Stillson (Martin Sheen), he discovers his true ambitions.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Christopher Walken plays a schoolteacher, Johnny Smith, who awakens from a five-year coma. He discovers that he has acquired the ability to foretell a person's future simply by touching his or her hand. After seeing several examples, Smith's doctor (Herbert Lom) becomes convinced that Smith can not only predict the future, but also has the power to change it. This ability is given its severest test when Smith shakes the hand of ruthless political candidate Greg Stillson (Martin Sheen) -- and suddenly has a flash-forward to a nuclear holocaust. The Dead Zone is not only one of the best-ever Stephen King adaptations, but also one of the most consistently successful (and least gory) efforts of director David Cronenberg.

HIT US UP:

[Paraprax]

Sheen looking at the other two men right before pressing the button is amazing acting. I can't even describe the look on his face but it perfectly conveys the "in-over-his-head" magnitude of the scenario. The ominous, uncharted-waters music right after the launch is perfect too. Terrifying.

[dorpth]

This was an awesome series finale to The West Wing.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

“Came to me in a dream…”

Probably number 1 thing you don’t want the President to say. 😆

[Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

It was like Christopher Walken was invited to Pete Hegseth's Signal chat.

[isaacmontoya]

What is more terrifying is that Greg Stilson used to be a Bible Sales Man. Growing he preached. Now when he used his preaching skills as a way to announce his plan of destruction is downright realistic. Martin Sheen really brought this character to life as the scariest human beings. Fantastic acting

[TobeyStarburst]

Walken and Sheen were both SPECTACULAR in this wonderful film.

[Yusufsow]

I admit that this scene (at least for me), one of the most terrifying scenes I've ever saw.

[rbryant]

Always loved this scene, thought Martin Sheen was perfect as a psychopath, deranged leader. Sonny was a chilling character who seemed to have a bigger role than just being Stillson's bodyguard.

[RichWeigel]

I have to give it to Martin Sheen he puts 100% into acting. He has me convinced to put my hand on the scanning screen and start WW3.

[euphospug]

I like to think that guy in the background is Randalph Flagg.

[jestermazza]

"In the middle of the night it came to me! I MUST GET UP NOW! RIGHT NOW AND FULLFILLMYDESTINY!!" (almost runs out breath - love it!!)

[Joorum]

He sends the world to its doom while wearing pajamas.

[D-eipc]

Wow the algorithm read the room and suggested this

[alekesam]

I've always seen the resemblance between Charlie and Martin but today was the first time I saw how much Martin looks like Emilio too.

[robindickman]

Is it just me, or is that general kind of spineless? He knows it's wrong, but he caves just because the other guy threatens/yells at him. Considering all the lives that would be lost, I'd think he should fight a heck of a lot harder.

[bobwoods]

This scene is chilling to the bone. Such a great movie.

[apologyisnothepolicy]

This is one of the scariest scenes EVER

[int]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Actually did the book justice.

[juanelorriaga]

Every time I see this movie I think of the SNL when Christopher Walken hosted way back and they did a spoof on this but instead of horrible important future he sees trivial things that will happen in a few mins just too funny

[dnasty]

*Martin Sheen* has played THREE types of political figures in his career!
GOOD: *President Jed Bartlett*
HISTORICAL: *President John F. Kennedy*
EVIL: *Greg Stillson*

Can anyone else claim that??
