Rain Man (1988)

Description

WINNER OF FOUR ACADEMY ADWARDS®, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE! Dustin hoffman "gives a perfectly executed performance" (Daily Telegraph) in an Oscar® - winning role (1988: Actor (Hoffman), Director, Original Screenplay, Best Picture) and Tom Cruise delivers the best acting of his career in a film that is "touching... and funny - very funny" (Financial Times). It simply "has to be seen" (Daily Mail) There are people you meet unexpectedly who will change your life forever. For Charlie Babbitt, it's his brother Raymond. Charlie Babbit (Cruise - 'The Last Samurai') has just discovered he has an autistic brother named Raymond (Hoffman - 'The Graduate') and is now taking him on the ride of his life. Or is it the other way around? From his refusal to drive on major highways to his obsession with watching popular TV game-shows, Raymond first pushes hot-headed Charlie to the limits of his patience and then pulls him completely out of his self-centered world! But what begins as a reluctant and unsentimental journey for the Babbit brothers becomes a remarkable story which connects these two vastly different people in this poignant and powerful look at the unlimited potencial of the human spirit.
