This Stephen Frears-directed flick is a contemporary re-working of a Frank Capra-styled fable about a two-bit criminal named Bernie (Hoffman) who saves several passengers from a plane crash and departs from the scene without being identified, leaving only a lost shoe behind. One of the passengers happens to be news reporter Gale (Davis), who is intent on finding her savior, and offers a million dollars to the "hero" of the crashed flight. Bernie has since given his remaining shoe to a homeless man named John (Garcia), who decides to cash in on the offer. A handsome, charming man, John wins the hearts of the entire city. Soon, Bernie realizes that he's been cheated out of a million dollars, and attempts to get both his proper recognition, and his money back.
