Phenomenon

Synopsis

JOHN TRAVOLTA and several nice people inhabit SMALL-TOWN AMERICA. Travolta gets hit by a SMARTNESS & KARMA BOMB (what a nice birthday present). It does NOT seem to help his LOVE LIFE… but it does help that of his HAM RADIO MATE. BRENT SPINER is the FBI. Oh and JOHN DIES AT THE END. I mean, George. John.
