Starring Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Bill Pullman
The charisma of stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and pitch-perfect writing and direction by Nora Ephron come together for one of the all-time great screen romances. Sam Baldwin (Hanks) is a widowed father who, thanks to the wiles of his worried son, becomes a reluctant guest on a radio call-in show. He’s an instant hit with thousands of female listeners who flood his Seattle home with letters of comfort. Meanwhile, inspired in equal parts by Sam’s story and by classic Hollywood romance, writer Annie Reed (Ryan) becomes convinced that it’s her destiny to meet him. There are just two problems: Annie’s engaged to someone else, and Sam doesn’t know yet that they’re made for each other.
