From Sydney Pollack, the Academy Award®-winning producer and director of Out of Africa, comes this passionate romantic thriller with a stellar cast. Harrison Ford (Dutch Van Den Broeck) plays an Internal Affairs sergeant who becomes entangled with Kristin Scott Thomas, a high-powered Congresswoman (Kay Chandler), when an airplane crash kills both their spouses. Dutch soon discovers that it was more than coincidence that had their spouses on the same plane - it was an affair. Details of the affair anger Kay, who is determined to protect both her daughter and her political career. As the story unfolds, she finds herself unable to resist being drawn into Dutch's investigation, and the passion they find in each other brings about the most unexpected discovery of all.

David Nusair

...a slow, somber drama that’s rarely as engrossing or compelling as its subject matter (and roster of talented performers) might’ve indicated...

Sydney Pollack directs with real skill, convincingly portraying the emotional complications of middle-aged passion, and is aided by the marvellous performances of Ford and Scott Thomas.

That kind of unorthodox (and perhaps unintentional) undercurrent is precisely what keeps Random Hearts interesting. Time and again, we see people reacting in ways that are unexpected, yet somehow realistic.

It’s a big unnecessary rectangle in the dark, that’s what it is, and it takes up entirely too much of our time.

In a perfect world, this assemblage of great talent wouldn't amount to such a colossal waste.
