A movie I watched on Star Movies n boy did I like it....
It goes something like this....
George Malley is an ordinary, likable auto mechanic in the small town of Harmon, California......... On the evening of his birthday, George steps out of the bar, sees a flash of light, and is knocked briefly unconscious.
Suddenly he’s able to beat his mentor, Doc Brunder (Duvall), at chess; he reads six books a day; he learns foreign language by riffling through a book; he begins to exhibit telekinetic powers.....
He tries to use his new skills for the good of the community but his neighbors are puzzled and even fearful of the change in him. The change also blocks the romance he would like to pursue with the pretty young divorcee, Nate Pope (Sedgwick), who just moved to town with her two kids.
Eventually the FBI wants to question George.
The story is good but the performance of John Travolta as George Malley gives it the class.
