The Stand is a 1994 American post-apocalyptic television miniseries based on the 1978 novel of the same name by Stephen King. King also wrote the teleplay and has a minor role in the series. It was directed by Mick Garris, who previously directed the original King screenplay/film Sleepwalkers (1992).
The Stand includes a cast of more than 125 speaking roles and features Gary Sinise, Miguel Ferrer, Rob Lowe, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Jamey Sheridan, Laura San Giacomo, Molly Ringwald, Corin Nemec, Adam Storke, Ray Walston, Ed Harris, and Matt Frewer. The miniseries was shot in several locations and on 225 sets. Each episode was given a $6 million budget so to reduce cost, the miniseries was shot on 16 mm film.

This is such a better version than the one that came out a few years ago. Still pales in comparison to the book, but it’s a damned fine made for TV adaptation, and Sinise is wonderful.
Edit: Actually, the whole cast is phenomenal. Totally worth the watch.
Joe Bob Briggs even makes a cameo.
I had to look him up, but he sounds cool.
He specializes in humorous but appreciative reviews of B-movies and cult films, which he calls “drive-in movies” (as distinguished from “indoor bullstuff”).
One of the best King movies (and books). Worth the time to watch it.
Steven King sure knows what’s actually scary.
