| Plot Summary: |
Jack Lucas (Jeff
Bridges) is a pseudo Howard Stern; a cynical, egotistical radio
DJ. One listener follows Jack's advice literally--"They
must be stopped!"--and guns down people in a high-end
restaurant. Jack falls into despair, and finds himself
living above a video store owned by his blue-collar girlfriend
Anne Napolitano (Mercedes
Ruehl). He is ready to throw
himself in the river when Parry (Robin
Williams) comes to his
rescue. Jack's search for redemption is interwoven with the
tragedy of Parry's past. He tries to help Parry by
connecting him to Lyida Sinclair (Amanda
Plummer), the shy girl of
his dreams. The elusive Holy Grail--protected within the
walls of Langdon Carmichael's modern New York city castle--holds
the key to both Jack and Parry's salvation.
