What Dreams May Come

What Dreams May Come

1998

Robin Williams plays Chris Nielson, a kind of everyman who dies in a car accident and goes straight to heaven. Overcome with grief, his wife, Annie (Annabella Sciorra), commits suicide and ends up in slightly warmer climes. Undeterred, Nielson embarks on an epic journey to hell (assisted by angelic Cuba Gooding Jr.) to find his despairing wife. Lush special effects will make this movie resonate in your own dreams.

After life there is more. The end is just the beginning.
