Writer Paul Sheldon (James Caan) has been wounded and kept hostage by his number one fan, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates). As he nurses himself back to full strength for an escape attempt, he stumbles upon Annie's news clippings that show she may be responsible for several deaths. She then discovers his plot and aims to put an end to it for good; by breaking his ankles with a sledgehammer.

About Misery (Theatrical Release - November 30, 1990):
After a serious car crash, novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who claims to be his biggest fan. Annie brings him to her remote cabin to recover, where her obsession takes a dark turn when she discovers Sheldon is killing off her favorite character from his novels. As Sheldon devises plans for escape, Annie grows increasingly controlling, even violent, as she forces the author to shape his writing to suit her twisted fantasies.
