From Stephen Frears, the director of DANGEROUS LIASIONS and THE GRIFTERS, comes ACCIDENTAL HERO, an engaging comedy starring Dustin Hoffman, Geena Davis and Andy Garcia. Davis is ace reporter Gale Gayley, a woman who literally falls into the story of a lifetime when she's a passenger on an airplane that crashes into a Chicago bridge. In the smoke and darkness, she's saved by Bernie (Hoffman) a rude, foul-mouthed man who promptly disappears into the night--leaving only his shoe behind. When Gale's TV station offers one million dollars to the mystery hero, John, a gentle Vietnam vet (Garcia), appears to claim the prize--and share it with the city's homeless. But this screwball Cinderella story is complicated by the real hero, who is a small-time crook that nobody believes. Both men, it seems, have something heroic inside--as well as something to hide--and it's up to Gale to discover the truth.
