Plot: George Orr lives in a near polluted future and suffers from dream anxiety. Having taken an overdose to avoid dreaming, George is legally ordered to report for therapy. After arriving at Dr Haber's office, he lays on the couch and duly explains his reason for being there. Turns out, George's dreams come true. Example; when 17, George dreamed his auntie out of existence. Having listened to George for a couple of sessions, Dr Haber believes his patient and sets about hypnotising him and using his powers for "good". He begins by curing the world of acid rain, then moves onto battle racism, over population, etc.
The problem here being, no good deed goes unpunished.
Budget: $250,000
Gross: Made for TV but one of public televisions most requested films ever.
Fun Fact: A remake was produced in 2002, starring James Caan...the author herself said it sucked.
