Sommersby: O Retorno de um Estranho
Esther
O povo se lembra de Jack Sommersby. Eles o conheceram como um homem rude e amargurado. Mas quando Jack voltou para casa após a Guerra Civil, ele se transformara num gentil, cuidadoso e habilidoso ser humano. Teria a guerra o transformado tanto assim... ou esse homem que se chama Jack Sommersby é um impostor? Richard Gere e Jodie Foster, duas vezes vencedora do Oscar, formam o par perfeito numa atuação brilhante nesta história de paixão e mistério. Eles interpretam Jack e Laurel Sommersby, cujo amor cresce na mesma proporção que as suspeitas sobre Jack. Se ele não é o mesmo homem com que se casou, Laurel sabe que este é o homem que sempre sonhou. Mas o definitivo teste sobre seu amor e verdadeira identidade de Jack ainda os aguarda. Jack deve enfrentar um julgamento por sua vida e apenas uma coisa é certa: você vai se lembrar de Sommersby.
