Sleepless in Seattle, the sophomore directorial effort from
Nora Ephron, is a light
romantic comedy inspired by the 1957 film
An Affair to Remember.
Tom Hanks stars as widower and single father
Sam. When
Sam's son,
Jonah (
Ross Malinger), calls into a talk radio program looking for a new mother,
Sam ends up getting on the phone and laments about his lost love. Thousands of miles away,
Annie (
Meg Ryan) hears the program and immediately falls in love with
Sam, despite the fact that she has never met him and that she is engaged to humdrum
Walter (
Bill Pullman). Believing they are meant to be together,
Annie sets out for Seattle to meet
Sam, who, meanwhile, contends with an onslaught of letters from available women equally touched by his phone call.
Rosie O'Donnell,
Rita Wilson, and
Rob Reiner also star.
