Twilight Zone: The Movie is a 1983 film produced by Steven Spielberg and John Landis as a theatrical version of The Twilight Zone, a 1959 and '60s TV series created by Rod Serling. It starred Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, Vic Morrow, Scatman Crothers, Kathleen Quinlan and John Lithgow. Burgess Meredith, who starred in several episodes of the original series, took on Serling's position as narrator, although unlike Serling he did not appear on screen, nor did he receive screen credit. But, his name did appear in the end credits.

The film remade three classic episodes of the original series and included one original story. John Landis directed the prologue and the first segment, Steven Spielberg directed the second, Joe Dante the third, and George Miller directed the final segment. The promotional song from this movie, "Nights Are Forever", written by Jerry Goldsmith with lyricist John Bettis, and sung by Jennifer Warnes, is heard briefly during the jukebox scene in the opening segment with Vic Morrow.

The film garnered notoriety for the helicopter crash which took the lives of actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, during the filming of Landis's segment. The deaths led to high-profile legal action, although in the subsequent trial no one was held criminally culpable for the accident.

@switchbuckle5th Work for hire? Don't make me laugh. This is THE perfect segment: the story, the music, the lighting and performances are great. It reminds me of Poltergeist and E.T. and looks as good too. If you want to see work for hire watch crap like Night Gallery, Columbo, Savage, Marcus Welby, Something Evil. That's work for hire. Spielberg had 100% creative control on this and it looks like it does because that's what he wanted. I wish I could make even a short movie as perfect as this.

[CH3Jason]

A lesson: If you are ever driving at night in the middle of nowhere with Dan Aykroyd and he asks you if "You wanna see something really scary?"

Say "No".
