Misery Plot Summary:
In “Misery,” successful novelist Paul Sheldon suffers a car accident during a snowstorm and is rescued by his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes. Paul soon realizes that Annie is deeply unstable and becomes his captor, forcing him to write a new novel to her liking. Trapped in Annie’s isolated home in the Colorado mountains, Paul must navigate her increasingly erratic behavior while plotting his escape. As tensions escalate and Annie’s obsession with Paul reaches dangerous levels, he must use all of his cunning to outwit her and survive.
As Paul’s situation grows more dire, he discovers Annie’s dark past and the extent of her violent tendencies. With the help of his resourcefulness and determination, Paul makes a desperate bid for freedom, leading to a tense and thrilling showdown between captor and captive. “Misery” delivers gripping suspense and psychological thrills, with Rob Reiner’s direction capturing the claustrophobic atmosphere of Stephen King’s acclaimed novel.
