From the box (car):

In this wild comedy adventure, rail passenger George Caldwell (Gene Wilder) finds that a romantic escapade with a sultry secretary (Jill Clayburgh) puts him in the middle of a Hitchcockian murder plot. Leaping on and off the train, in and out of roomettes, bars and dining cars, George teams up with an amiable, small-time crook (Richard Pryor) to defy the murderer’s henchmen, FBI agents and a host of other outrageous characters.

From the box:

Two-time Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson overwhelms you as Jack Torrance, winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, who spirals helplessly towards madness and murder as the hotel’s power plays upon his weaknessess. Shelley Duvall is the ultimate woman on the run as Jack’s put-upon wife Wendy, and Danny Lloyd effectively plays their psychic son, whose ability — his “shining” — unlocks visions of evil.
