Phenomenon

Drama starring John Travolta as a dim-witted mechanic who becomes a genius after contact with a mysterious light. His new powers are welcome at first, but then problems arise.

Drama. A simple, small-town garage mechanic suddenly develops extraordinary intelligence -including telekinetic powers and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge - which affects his life in unexpected ways. The government wants to investigate him, scientists want to study him, and the townspeople become afraid of him, to the point of ostracism. With the love and support of a young single mother, he is finally able to accept his lot in life.
