Under the Dome

Super Short Summary

In Under the Dome by Stephen King, an invisible, electrified Dome encapsulates Chester’s Mill, cutting it off from the external world. Chaos breaks out as civic order collapses, with Big Jim Rennie seizing power and framing outsider Dale Barbara, a former soldier. Barbara, aided by local allies, discovers the Dome's source—an alien generator—and strives to survive amidst escalating violence and tyranny. The source material depicts sexual assault, graphic violence, substance use, and suicidal ideation, and features offensive language directed at women and LGBTQ+ people.
