45 years after it first hit theaters in 1980, The Shining is back on the big screen – and it's showing in IMAX for the first time, in what's bound to be one of the most intense cinema experiences you'll have this year.
The Shining follows Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), an aspiring writer who gets a job as an off-season caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel. He moves there for the winter with his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), but his mental state quickly begins to unravel between the hotel's walls with violent, terrifying consequences. The film has become a cornerstone of pop culture, referenced by everything from The Simpsons to Breaking Bad, but it's had a mixed reception over the years.
