Golden Years is a science-fiction thriller movie that was released in 1991. The movie was directed by Stephen King, and it stars Keith Szarabajka, Felicity Huffman, Ed Lauter, R.D. Call, and Frances Sternhagen.
The movie revolves around an elderly janitor named Harlan Williams, who works at a top-secret government lab in Maine. One day, while cleaning up a spill in the lab, Harlan is exposed to some mysterious chemicals that cause him to undergo a bizarre transformation. Instead of aging, Harlan starts getting younger each day. Soon, he realizes that he has developed incredible powers that are beyond his understanding.
Meanwhile, a ruthless CIA assassin named General Wallace Powers is ordered to capture Harlan and bring him to the lab for testing. Powers sees Harlan as a valuable asset to the government, and he is determined to capture him at any cost. Harlan is forced to go on the run with his wife Gina and a feisty female agent named Terry Spann.
As Harlan gets younger, he starts discovering his new powers, including the ability to heal people, fly, and create explosive energy bursts. However, he realizes that using his powers comes at a cost – each time he uses them, he gets younger even faster. Harlan and his team must find a way to stop General Powers before it's too late.
The movie received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its originality and dark humor, while others criticized its slow pace and lack of action. Despite this, Golden Years has developed a cult following over the years and remains a favorite among Stephen King fans.
