The Stand is a 1994 television miniseries based on the novel The Stand by Stephen King. King also wrote the teleplay. It was directed by Mick Garris and stars Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald and Jamey Sheridan.
The miniseries closely parallels the events of King's post apocalyptic novel by the same name. A superflu devastates the United States, leaving only a few survivors. These survivors gravitate towards either the side of good or evil, driven mainly by very vivid dreams in the aftermath of the plague. The climax is a final showdown between good and evil in Las Vegas, Nevada.
