Bloom (Scatman Crothers) suggests that they all play a game called “kick the can,” even though the nurses and caretakers would never allow such physical exertions. The other patrons of the convalescent home recall activities of their youth, fondly remembering childish frivolities, while Leo fumes over the meaninglessness of their cheery conversations. The next episode, set at the Sunnyvale Rest Home, features an elderly man, Leo Conroy (Bill Quinn), feeling abandoned by his children and grandchildren, who never allow him to visit. This story is clearly horror – but of an impressively intellectual, thought-provoking kind. Providing exceptional commentary on race relations and racism, this opening chapter satirically transitions to comparable, alternate scenarios, including a KKK lynching and a Vietnamese jungle – with each setting putting Connor at the center of startling intolerance. He’s about to get a taste of his own medicine, as his American heritage is none too welcome in WWII-era, German-occupied France.
Two Nazi officers then drive up, demanding to see Connor’s papers.
Twilight zone the movie full#
The humid streets are full of decay and destruction, with foreign signage and architecture. After throwing around racial slurs and complaining about the minorities who live in his neighborhood and who own all the businesses and houses, he storms outside – where he suddenly finds himself in an unfamiliar world. In the first episode (called “Time Out,” though this is never shown onscreen), William Connor (Vic Morrow), a sour, tired man, joins his friends at a bar in California, starting up a racist tirade about a big promotion to which he lost out – to a Jewish man. “That show was so good!” Of course, they also confuse a few of the plots with those of “The Outer Limits.” This tepid, self-referential opening segment is merely a prologue to four separate episodes to be seen in “Twilight Zone – The Movie,” a big-screen anthology with plenty of recognizable writers and directors and stars. And then they mention the old show “The Twilight Zone,” reminiscing about some of the greatest episodes. “That’s scary.” But soon they’re humming TV theme songs and trying to guess the titles.

The driver suggests turning off their lights and playing chicken.
Wo men in a car (Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks) drive down a dark road in the middle of nowhere, singing loudly to “The Midnight Special.” But when the tape gets eaten by the player, the two are forced to talk to one another.
