Stephen King's 'The Stand' is a monumental epic of good versus evil in a world decimated by a superflu plague that wipes out most of humanity. As society collapses, the few survivors begin to dream, drawn by opposing forces: Mother Abagail, a benevolent 108-year-old spiritual beacon, and Randall Flagg, the nefarious Dark Man, a powerful embodiment of malevolence. The remaining population must choose a side, embarking on a perilous journey across a desolate America to converge for a final confrontation that will determine the fate of the human race. It's a gripping exploration of survival, morality, and the enduring power of hope amidst utter devastation.
