The Dead Zone (1983)

Starring Christopher Walken

The Dead Zone is a thriller/horror movie (based on the book by Stephen King). It's about a man who has a terrible auto accident. When he awakens from a coma years later, his fiancĂ© has married someone else (and even has a child), and he must slowly come back to a life he no longer recognizes. Further, he has a new talent; when he shakes a person’s hand or touches them, he has visions of events that will befall that person in the future. This is an intelligent, well-crafted thriller, and includes one possible answer to this old question: if you knew about Hitler before he took over in Germany, what would you do?
