Al Pacino won his first Best Actor Oscar® for his brilliant portrayal of an overbearing, blind retired Lieutenant Colonel who hires a young guardian (Chris O’Donnell), to assist him.
It’s a heart-wrenching and heartwarming tale of opposites attracting when they embark on a wild weekend trip that will change the lives of both men forever.
Frank (Al Pacino) and Charlie (Chris O’Donnell) unexpectedly show up at Frank’s brother’s home and join him and his family for Thanksgiving dinner.
During the dinner, Randy Slade (Bradley Whitford) tells Charlie the story of how Frank became blind.
