High school senior Carrie White (Sissy Spacek), is a
shy, unworldly, and friendless teenage girl who has been sheltered from real
life by her domineering, fanatically religious mother (Piper Laurie), while
struggling in secret with the special telekinetic powers she possesses, a
secret which she cannot divulge to her mother as she would consider it to be a
gift from the devil.
The only adult authority figure who tries to help
Carrie with her life is her Physical Education teacher, Miss Collins (Betty
Buckley) but she is warned by the Principle not to get too involved.
After an incident of bullying by her classmates the
culprits are banned from attending the Senior Prom and blame Carrie so they
plan to exact their revenge on her by humiliating her in front of everyone at
the Prom.
So will they succeed or will she unleash her
telekinetic powers on them in a horrifying display of rage.
Amy Irving, William Katt, John Travolta, Nancy Allen
and P.J. Soles play Carries classmates, good and bad, in what is possibly the
best movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel.
