Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning romance fantasy starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze as ill-fated soul mates, separated by a tragic murder.
New York couple Sam (Swayze) and Molly (Moore) are mugged on a night out, and Sam is shot dead. Sam leaves his body but discovers that he is still present in this life in ghostly form. From observing Molly and his old business partner Carl (Tony Goldwyn), Sam learns that his death was no random act and Carl has designs on both his money and his wife. He tries to send a message to Molly through psychic scam artist Oda Mae Brown (Whoopie Goldberg in an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning performance), who's as surprised as anyone to discover that she can actually commune with the dead. The unlikely team must make Molly beleive in Sam's presence in a race to see justice served.
