Answer 1

The climax of "The Shining" occurs when Jack Torrance, under the influence of the Overlook Hotel's malevolent forces, attempts to kill his family. Danny, his son, uses his psychic abilities to outsmart Jack and ultimately defeat the evil presence of the hotel.

Answer 2

The Shining is a book by Stephen King about a family: Jack, Wendy, and Danny Torrence. Jack had a bad past as an alcholic who broke his son Danny's arm, and got fired from his job as a teacher. He gets offered a job as a caretaker at the Overlook hotel from his friend, Al Shockley. Danny is the five year old son of Jack who is gifted with the shining, as Dick Hallorann, a staff member of the hotel says. Danny has multiple visions about the hotel, most of them involving one word: REDRUM (read it backwards.) As the hotels dark past starts to get to Jack, and Danny's visions seem to be more violent and more involving Jack murdering all of them, they are snowed in for the winter, with no communications with the outside world except one radio.

It's a really good book, I strongly suggest reading it.
