Based on a true life story which made the headlines in the end.
Two years after his wife's sudden death, Washington Post reporter John Klein (Richard Gere) is assigned to cover the expected announcement that the governor of Virginia is running for President. While driving south from Washington to Richmond, Klein experiences late night car trouble.
Seeking help, he knocks on the door of a house just off the highway, and finds himself face-to-face with shotgun-wielding Gordon Smallwood (Will Patton), who threatens to shoot Klein for harassing his family for the third consecutive night!? Before Smallwood can carry out his threat, however, the baffled Klein is rescued by the local Sheriff, Connie Mills (Laura Linney).
If the false accusations aren't enough, Klein soon learns that he is missing time, having been informed by Sheriff Mills that he is in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, several hours west of his intended destination, Richmond. Having no idea how he got there but determined to discover the truth, Klein installs himself at the local motel and seeks the assistance of Sheriff Mills.
During his questioning of local citizens, Klein discovers that there have been sightings of a tall, winged man with demonic red eyes--the "MOTHMAN"--sketches of which by the locals resemble the drawings made by his wife prior to her death. The situation becomes even more devious when Gordon Smallwood arranges a meeting with Klein to tell him that he has been contacted by a mysterious being named Indrid Cold--who, it is soon revealed, has given Smallwood foreknowledge of a future disaster.
As a result of this and other uncanny events, Klein contacts the reclusive paranormal researcher Alexander Leek (Alan Bates) in order to ascertain the nature of the mysterious entities who can predict the future, but secretly hoping that Indrid Cold may be the means through which he can contact his dead wife.
But are the Mothman and Indrid Cold agents of Good or Evil, and what is the reason for their sightings in the area of Point Pleasant?
