Plot

The title character in this X-Files episode of March 18, 1994, is a Tennessee teenager named Samuel (Scott Bairstow), who apparently possesses the ability to heal with the touch of his hand. Unfortunately, it appears as though Samuel also has the capacity to kill with his magic touch. As Mulder and Scully investigate the faith-healing ministry spearheaded by Samuel's adopted father (George Gerdes), the boy becomes convinced that his lack of faith has brought about the present wave of tragedy. "Miracle Man" was written by Howard Gordon and Chris Carter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
