synopsis
Henry Turner (Harrison Ford), a wealthy, high-powered, highly successful Manhattan lawyer, seems to have everything -- a perfect wife (Annette Bening), a perfect daughter, a perfect life. In fact, Henry is completely cold, rigid and unable to experience love or joy in his day-to- day existence. Everything changes, however, when Henry is gunned down in an act of random violence, and must undergo a slow, difficult recovery. In the process of relearning the most basic skills -- walking, reading, getting dressed in the morning -- Henry discovers something even more important: how to love his family and friends again and how to find true happiness in life.
REGARDING HENRY is the lastest in a series of intelligent movies made by Mike Nichols, and starring Harrison Ford and Annette Benning. While we can all go and gawk at a movie like TERMINATOR 2, REGARDING HENRY is a well-acted, well-written, well-directed film that Hollywood just doesn't make enough of. It won't make mega-bucks, but I hope it will do very well.
