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.

This was an awesome series finale to The West Wing.
😂
I don't know how that show ended, but it would have been an excellent ending! I couldn't watch that show with Martin Sheen as president after seeing this. It doesn't even have to be a launch against the Soviet Union/Russia or China, but could be a launch against Iran, North Korea or another minor power.
😂😂😂
He he
What joe biden would do.
“Came to me in a dream…”
Probably number 1 thing you don’t want the President to say. 😆
He would also be public looney #1 if you ask me
*kackles
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
Reminds me of Carnegie from 'The Book of Eli'.
Stillson is a scary character!
Especially given Sheen is Stilson’s complete opposite.
Stillson! Stillson! LOL
Does anyone know when he becomes the President? I'm just curious.I guess it's 10-15 years into the future??Apparently he wins the US Senate seat and mabye just serves one term and then gets elected as President in a landslide by his dopey supporters?
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.
Walken and Sheen were both SPECTACULAR in this wonderful film.
Wait until you see the real life version of this film in 2017. Trump and King will be spectacular, and this time, it WON'T be an act.
I too liked this movie. And yes Sheen and Walken were really good. in fact had it not been for his gift to get in the skin of the character it was hard to imagine somebody like Walken be so successful.
@@collegeman1988 yeah...still waiting on that....
From day to night
@@collegeman1988 Yeah, it was ineed spactacular -- back in 2017. Help me out now -- what was IT exactly?
I admit that this scene (at least for me), one of the most terrifying scenes I've ever saw.
Yeah it's as creepy as hell
Indeed
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.
Agree
Who or WHAT is a "Randall Flagg"??

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.
The Sheen will sell you on anything.
That was a commentary about how little they care and how they really don't believe in Heaven.
we're still waiting . . .
This is one of the scariest scenes EVER
apologyisnothepolicy that's the original red ring of death
100% agree
Indeed it is....
Made an indelible impression on ME ,that's for sure...
You bet it is, with our own Greg Stillson charismatic leader of the free world. Look at it this way, "at least he hasn't done a Stillson yet!?!.."
This is not scary by any means.
I like to think that guy in the background is Randalph Flagg.
He's Walter, Randall Flagg, Marten, The Ageless Stranger, Flagg, Richard Fanning, The Man In Black.
For sure. He darkles. He tincts.
@@griemypooh1413 the hard case, the walkin’ dude
Yup
He's Toby Zeigler.
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.
True, but I think he was frightened because had he said no, Stillson's bodyguard would've beaten him up and Stillson, as manic as he sounds here very well could've cut his hand off and placed it on the scan. Very messed up scene.
He would have cut off his hand. I'm sure of it! He would have done anything to make his mark. If the general or secretary or whoever he was had fought, he would have only delayed the inevitable. He only saved himself from having himself shot. I have to assume that the scanner works for a living or a dead hand. It just scans for the print pattern. A good failsafe would be to ensure that only a living hand is able to activate the device.
And why is the “General” in civilian clothes?
@@dougmaclennan8654 He is not. He is in a future military uniform maybe some 15-20-25 years into the future, as envisioned back in 1983.
@@frankfarago2825 Maybe. Maybe in 15 years we go from Greens and metals to turtlenecks and blazers. Maybe. But I think the USAF didn’t want the producers depicting the military brass as this cowardly and thus refused to license the image and likeness of military garb.
*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??

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
He sends the world to its doom while wearing pajamas.
😂
Silk pajamas.
This scene is chilling to the bone. Such a great movie.
What people never ask about is Sonny, Stilson's mysterious and unaging right-hand man who seems not only to serve him, but to egg him on. Sonny protects Stilson from Johnny in the end, but then abandons Stilson when Stilson is no longer a useful servant of evil.
So was Sonny a human being or a demon in human form? Was he, in fact, another incarnation of Randall Flagg?
What you just said presents the ground work for a remarkable sequel in it we find Johnny is a spirit to so many possibilities
Wow that’s an amazing comment
He is more evil than demons
I always figured incarnation of Flagg or similar.
Good observation! I thought sonny hated the baby stunt as well, but it could have been as simple as, he wasn't useful to him anymore.
I love how Martin Sheen take on these small roles/cameos back in the 80s, 90s, albeit small, they are mostly memorable.
Did you ever see his first film where he plays a Civil War deserter?
This was not a small role though.
"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!!)
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.
It’s the other way around for me. I see so much Emilio in Martin that I can barely see any Charlie.
I think each of the Estevez / Sheen sons all resemble Martin at various points in his career / life. Emilio looks most like him now, Charlie looks like him during the 80s, when The Dead Zone was made and Ramon looks like him in the late 70s early 80s.
Emilio always looked like Martin more than Charlie. Just watch Apocalypse Now.
I cant believe there all related
Ok....thats called "genetics".
Gasp!
Your biological children usually "look like you"....smh.
Did you go to public or pubic school????
Reading the book right now. As I read through the prologue, it showed about Johnny's childhood moments as a skater while Greg Stillson was in his 20s as a Bible salesman. But it also revealed how fucked up Greg is when he kicked a dog to death out of defense, slapped a girl a bunch of times, and dug his father's grave kicking his corpse screaming, "You were wrong,dad! You were wrong about me!" Only because his militant dad used to say to him,"You're no good, runt! You're no fucking good!" He actually got away with those situations just so he kept his record clean and not lose his job. Now look where it lead him to be. A total madman running for president.
He didn't actually dig up his father's grave, you know... just thought about doing it.
@@randallflagg3700 You could be right on that. The least he can do would be yelling down at his fathers tombstone
One of my favorite movies of all time. Actually did the book justice.
What a legendary actor Martin Sheen is
The second scariest part of this clip is that the soldiers guarding the cabin have their weapons pointed *at* the VP and (presumably) the Secretary of State, and even though it's hard to make out, it seems they've got their fingers in the trigger guards. They weren't just blocking the door, they had orders to shoot anyone who tried to come up before they were allowed.
It Can't Happen Here
@RideAcrossTheRiver happening right now.
In the months leading up to January 6, 2020 Mark Milley went up and down the command structure to make SURE, that the US military defends the constitution, not the slob in the White House. Most people will never know what Milley did.
Martin Sheen. What a great actor.
This movie was released in October 1983 which was right at a moment when the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union was frighteningly close to becoming a nuclear armageddon.
You said it. The Day After came out a month later, as did Testament. Oh, and the Able Archer incident that happened -in- October 1983 was the closest we were ever to nuclear war. In several ways it's an absolute miracle of God we're all here to make these comments.
The world would have ended in nuclear war in 1983 if Stanislav Petrov hadn’t refused to launch missiles in retaliation for a faulty alarm system.
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 Actual possible reality :(
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 That incident was 1993
@Nature and Physics no it was 1983. Google it.
He sounds so much like Charlie when he's angry.
Bluflm
We need a President with Tiger blood.
Agreed

I'm watching HBO's Chernobyl....and to THINK that a nuclear war would be 1,000,000 times worse than what those around the nuclear power plant and city endured over a nuclear fallout.
Scary stuff!
Jesus that was a good movie.
President Bartlett loses it...;)
This film is one of the only GREAT Stephen King adaptions, and it still holds up today. Brilliant film, great cast, an all around entertaining venture, no question.
***** NOT 'The Shining', NO...as far as faithful adaptions go, Kubrick's film was WAAAY off the mark...read the novel, see for yourself how much he changed. 'The Dead Zone' is a MUCH more faithful adaption, sorry...
***** Still, I think 'Dead Zone' is much more faithful than 'The Shining' (tho the TV miniseries was more faithful, it lacked Kubrick's directional touch...a shame you can't combine the TV version with the Kubrick version to get the best possible version, LOL...but yes, on it's OWN, the theatrical 'Shining' is a damn good horror film...I was speaking more of how true to the source material each film was...;)
@@KarstensCreationsKC What about cinematic IT? It just modernised story and scrapped Psychic element. As an adaptation with changes, how doesbit fare
@@KarstensCreationsKC I've always held that faithfulness to the original story is not necessarily what makes a movie great - Lord of the Rings is the masterclass for how to stick with the books, but How to Train your Dragon is similarly the masterclass for how to diverge from them. How do you believe The Shining fares as a film if faithfulness is a non-issue?
@@nikitamalikov6683 A great book doesn't necessarily translate into a great film. Kubrick's "The Shining" changed what needed to be changed in order for the movie to work in movie form, but kept the basic premise intact. And it worked to perfection. When King tried to create a "faithful" version of "The Shining" in 1997, it failed miserably. The changes Kubrick made were masterful.
The music in this scene makes it so much spookier.
Yes, that's why they use it.
A good score can make or break a scene or a movie.
Jed Bartlett is off his meds.
airdriver Jason Wynn?
Leo wasn't there yet to keep him in line.
"Sir did you take the Vicodin or the Percocet?"
"You mean I wasn't supposed to take them both?"
He really did want to live in a yellow submarine.
You know in the book Greg Stilson as a boy killed a dog brutally. Now that got my heart hurting
What? Do we at least get to see Greg or Johnny as a boy? I really wanna see this movie. The book is great. Walken casting is putting me off a bit though. Great actor but I cant see him as Johnny Smith
Not quite a boy. He was in his 20s and was a Bible salesman.
They say animal cruelty in childhood is a sign or precursor to psychopathy.
@@sandal_thong8631 Animal cruelty in any age is a sign of psychopathy.
One of the great movie scenes of the 80's.
Such a great scene! Sheen in one of his best roles!
Sheen is terrifying in this role
"Better to lose a body part than have your entire body thrown into hell..." - Matthew 5, 29. Actually at this point, it's probably time to either run or attack.
Well, the general could have cut or bit his pinky off to avoid the phycho using his hand to start a nuclear war.
@@deborahminter6231 With the guards around, not likely.
@mercenaryknight5419 he would have had to trick him and do it quickly. The vice president and congressman were right outside to...so maybe.
Tight direction from Cronenberg and an excellent cast headed by Walken created one of King's best adaptations to screen. Stillson's megalomania was well-played by Sheen. I also liked Lom as the doctor. Great film.

No, there's a thing called democracy you crazed loony bin leftist.
At least now we know how we ended up on the path to dim witted Presidents like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho😂 Now all we need is a NotSure to come save us
But Stillson was a Real Estate conman before turning to politics.
...oh
@@Dwight511 ...he uh...he didn't win if we're going by democracy. Quite the contrary. Lost the actual vote by about three million people.
If this movie was made today, we all know who this film was referencing.
👍
King has said that he's pretty close as far as parallels go.
Biden? Considering he has us in WW3 at the moment....
Sonny is the real power. He'd hack off that hand!
Sonny gives me the creeps. GREAT performance by the actor, Geza Kovacs. Just a few lines but what presence! He was a silent assassin in Cronenberg's previous film, Scanners.
Nah Sonny would probably just rip his god damne head of 😉
I watch this clip just to hear Sonny say "complete the sequence, Mr. President." It's an ASMR delivery.
@@volumeturneddown9600 But Sonny smirked respect at Johnny.
Fortunately trump's hand would be to small for the scanner
Yeah, because he's only the first president in over 40 years NOT to start a war. It was so long ago, it was the president prior to the making of this film, Jimmy Carter

This could happen tonight
This part really scared me when I first saw it.
I can see "insert president" doing this.
Martin Sheen is a hugely underrated actor. This one scene is testament to his incredible range and talent.
"Underrated?" You're saying that about Emmy award-winning actor Martin Sheen, who has 9 more Emmy nominations, 2 Critics Choice Award nominations, and a score of others? You're full of crap.
The word "underrated" is the most overused word in TH-cam comments that's both inaccurate and meaningless. Who's underrating him? No one. Perhaps you're trolling or an A.I.?
He was incredible as a young man 'The Badlands' 1973 and in 'Apocalypse Now' 1979. Big fan here.
Ironic thing is Sheen in real life is one of the most hardened anti war and anti nuclear doves in history
Sometimes art can push a point more effectively than reason or activism. Carl Sagan on nuclear war and nuclear winter said we've had madmen in charge of modern nation states. Who's to say it won't happen again?
It’s like it was predicted for post 2020
Oh please with this.
how so?
Shut up
Stephan King has his Dead Zone 😂 (Sarcasm)
@Wes McGee idiot!
If it’s a biometric scanner, cutting his hand off and placing it on the pad probably wouldn’t work because the lack of blood flow to the tissues would render the hand dead and the scanner wouldn’t read the palm.
WOW! Nice hamming up the scene Mr Sheen, you're eating up all the furniture. ;)
"My destiny" "Voice of the people" Sounds like somebody we know.
You mean "The Chosen One"?

***** Chris Christie would have just told him to shut up and sit down.
***** I don't see Christie doing this. He may be corrupt but not insane. Cruz on the other hand,,,
When they shot this scene Sheen wanted access to the real launch button for extra realism....Cronenberg had to tell him to calm down.
I wonder how many views this video has had in the last two years compared to the views it had before.

I love how the background music at the start is more mischievous 'oh what is the president up to?' Type of vibe 😂
Sheen might be the only major actor to play both a good president and an evil president.
Seems that this movie predicted the future---and we need Johnny Smith more than ever.
unbelievable...Stephen King's genius...predicting the future!
Yup, and even more startling is that Stephen King hates Donald Trump. He knew he was coming to destroy us.

People say Charlie was crazy. But it runs in the family this was Martin's "Winning".
This is the weirdest episode of The West Wing ever!
If they had ended the series with an episode containing this scene it would have gone down in history as one of the greatest series endings. They could have foreshadowed it with the president not sleeping and having headaches.
