Signing a contract, Jack Torrance, a normal writer and former teacher agrees to take care of a hotel which has a long, violent past that puts everyone in the hotel in a nervous situation. While Jack slowly gets more violent and angry of his life, his son, Danny, tries to use a special talent, the 'Shining', to inform the people outside about whatever that is going on in the hotel.
Stanley Kubrick’s utilization of Garrett Brown’s Steadicam technology enabled for smooth, low-angle tracking shots through the Overlook Hotel’s narrow hallways. This innovation created a lurking presence around every corner thus cementing this brand new cinematic tool for years to come.
