As very, very often the case when I watch an episode of "The Twilight Zone", the plot instantly reminded me of a later film that "borrowed" the basic plot idea and turned it into a long-feature film. Normally I can instantly recall which film(s) copied & pasted their storyline from the episode in question, but in case of "The Prime Mover" I cannot. I distinctively remember seeing a film where the protagonist has telekinetic powers, but he's naïvely honest and never even thought about abusing his powers. Yet, instead, everyone else in his surrounding want to make us of them for their own benefit. Don't remember what film this was, so feel free to drop me a note if you know the title!
"The Prime Mover" is a fair episode, but definitely not one of the most memorable ones in the series. After discovering that his timid but loyal employee Jimbo disposes of telekinetic powers, the gambling-addicted snack bar patron Ace Larsen takes him to Las Vegas to manipulate dice games and roulette balls and make a fortune. Docile Jimbo obeys, even though he feels bad for cheating, but when Ace becomes overly greedy and starts neglecting his lovely fiancée Kitty, he blows a fuse; - literally! Personally, I don't like it when "Twilight Zone" episodes are too heavy on morals and valuable life lessons; hence this isn't a big favorite. The season one episode "Fever" used the same settings and similar themes, but it was much darker and more cynical. The highlight in "The Prime Mover" is the spectacular car crash at the beginning of the episode, taken from "Thunder Road" starring Robert Mitchum, but it's irrelevant to the actual plot.
