Synopsis:
Thought-provoking comedy drama, starring Dustin Hoffman as a down-at-heel petty crook who single-handedly rescues the survivors of a plane crash and then disappears, leaving an aimless drifter to accept the credit and become a media darling in the process. It goes without saying that Hoffman's performance is a joy, while excellent support comes from Geena Davis, Andy Garcia and Joan Cusack. Just a shame the mood is broken by the clumsy ending. Includes five news at 8.55
