When Johnny's predictions of a tragic graduation-party fire come true, he captures the attention of ambitious Congressional candidate Greg Stillson (Sean Patrick Flanery). Although they don't yet know it, Johnny and Stillson met years earlier -- and when Johnny touched Stillson's hand for the first time, he experienced terrifying visions of a nuclear holocaust. It seems fated that the two will meet again -- but will Johnny be able to avert the apocalyptic future that he envisioned so long ago? Loosely adapted from the 1983 Dead Zone theatrical feature, this cliffhanger episode served as the season one finale of TV's Dead Zone.
