Watch Stephen King's 'Cell' Transform Smartphone Users Into Mindless Killers
The horrormeister adapted his 2006 novel for the film, which reteams John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson from another King-based thriller, 1408. Cusack plays Clay Riddell, an artist who is separated from his family when the mysterious “Pulse” is blasted out over the cell network, turning anyone who was using a smartphone into a mindless killer. Jackson is Tom McCourt, an unlikely hero who helps Clay navigate the “phoners” in a search for his lost son.
