Back of the Box:
Dustin Hoffman is a "triumph" (People)
in an Oscar-winning role, and Tom Cruise is "terrific" (ABC Radio) in a
film that's "fascinating, touching and full of smart surprises" (Newsweek)!
Charlie Babbitt (Cruise) has just
discovered he has an autistic brother named Raymond (Hoffman) and is now
taking him on the ride of his life. Or is it the other way around? From
his refusal to drive on major highways to a "four minutes to Wapner" meltdown
at an Oklahoma farmhouse, Raymond first pushes Charlie to the limits of
his patience... and then pulls him completely out of his self-centered
world! But what begins as an unsentimental journey for the Babbit brothers
becomes much more than the distance between two places - it's a connection
between two vastly different people... and "a poignant, profound and powerful
film" (Joe Siegel, ABC-TV)!
Notes: This film won four 1988 Oscars: Best Actor - Dustin
Hoffman, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture.
