PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman made a box-office splash in this "road" drama about crass hustler Charlie Babbitt, who forms a bond with the autistic-savant brother, Raymond, he never knew he had during a cross-country car trip. Hoffman won a Best Actor Academy Award for his uncanny portrayal of the behaviorally disordered human abacus, as did the picture, screenplay, and Barry Levinson's sensitive direction. 134 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, French DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish; audio commentary by Levinson, others; featurettes; deleted scene; theatrical trailer. Two-disc set.
REVIEW
Under Barry Levinson's astringent direction, Hoffman and Cruise evoke honestly earned emotions. Don't pass on this wonderfully funny and touching movie. There's magic in it. --Pete Travers, People Magazine
Everything about the acting and direction of Rain Man is so exquisitely calibrated and so right that it's all too easy to forget how much could have gone wrong. --Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rain Man is a buddy movie about two guys who barely connect, and the miracle of the film is how simply -- and powerfully -- it connects with us. --Owen Gleiberman, Boston Phoenix
