For the first time ever, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece, The Shining, can be experienced in IMAX®, showcasing the iconic horror classic like never before. Academy Award® winner Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall star in director Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's disturbing blockbuster horror novel. Writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson), a former alcoholic, accepts a job as the winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains, isolating him, his wife (Duvall) and their psychic young son until spring. But when the first blizzard blocks the only road out, the hotel's stored energy from evil past deeds begins to drive Jack insane...and there may be no escape for his family in this haunting story of madness, memory and violence.
