Story Synopsis

Travolta as the well-liked, kindhearted mechanic George Malley, who, on the night of his 37th birthday, is struck to the ground unconscious by a mysterious light. When he comes to, he realizes he has developed amazing mental and telekinetic abilities. At first, his small Northern California town marvels at the miracles George performs—languages within minutes, earthquake predictions—but soon his incredible knowledge and power causes even his long-time friends to turn away. George soon comes to realize, through this wondrous experience, what is important in his life and the lives around him.
