As a lifelong fan of cinematic craft, I created this map to turn the film’s structure into something you can explore with your eyes. Each “station” is a plot beat; each “line” follows a character’s journey through the Overlook Hotel, intersecting, diverging, and converging across the story. It’s a fresh way to experience Kubrick’s classic: visually, analytically, and beautifully.

Why This Map Stands Out
- Scene-by-scene clarity: Follow the narrative from opening drive to chilling finale with clean, legible “stations.”
- Character-first design: Jack, Wendy, Danny, Hallorann—each has a dedicated line so that you can track decisions, shifts, and reveals.
- Research you can feel: Built from careful scene analysis to preserve chronology, tone, and cause–and–effect.
- Made to display: Available in A3, A2, and A1; archival-quality art print for a gallery-ready finish.
- Gift-ready: A conversation-starting centrepiece for horror lovers, cinephiles, and design fans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a “film plot lines” map?
It’s a transit-inspired diagram where each character becomes a line, each scene a station, and their intersections show moments of contact, tension, or revelation.
How accurate is the map to the film?
Very. It’s built from careful scene-by-scene analysis to preserve chronology and key beats, while simplifying for legibility.
Do you include frames?
Frames aren’t included by default, but are supplied for every print size as an option so that you can match your space.
What sizes should I pick for my wall?
A3 works for desks or tight spaces, A2 suits most rooms, and A1 makes a bold statement on larger walls. See the size guide above.
Is this an official studio product?
It’s an original, transformative artwork created by me. It’s designed as critical, diagrammatic fan art celebrating cinematic storytelling.
How is it packaged for delivery?
Prints ship flat or rolled in sturdy tubes; aluminium ships are protected with corner guards and padding.
Do you create maps for other films?
Yes, explore Back to the Future, Blade Runner, Dirty Dancing, Jaws, and James Bond.
