Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) has successfully applied for the position of winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies, a position that basically lasts five, long months. Being a winter caretaker is a very lonely job and the isolation can have some profound effects upon people - as one such caretaker found out, resulting in his butchering his wife and two daughters, before killing himself, in the infamous Room 237. Undeterred, Jack brings along his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) to accompany him during the winter vigil, during which he hopes to write a book. Whilst things start out fine, the long, lonely weeks start taking their toll - especially as young Danny has the gift of 'the shining' as described by the hotel chef Dick Hallorann (Scatman Crothers). This gift is something of a psychic connection with events in the past, and young Danny starts seeing some weird things in the empty corridors of the hotel. Obviously things go from bad to worse for everyone concerned, building to the climax during which the nature of Jack's existence is brought into question.
A film made for the talents of Jack Nicholson, his performance is utterly superb and it is inconceivable that any else could have played this role as well as he did.
