Plot
Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) is a debt-ridden car salesman who, upon the death of his father, discovers that he is not the heir to the family fortune. On this occasion he also learns of the existence of Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), his older brother with autism, who is hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic in Wallbrook. Frustrated by the lack of inheritance and angry at having been kept in the dark about his brother's existence, Charlie decides to kidnap Raymond in order to somehow gain possession of the money and become his guardian. After the kidnapping, he proposes to the doctor treating Raymond to take the man back to the clinic in exchange for half the fortune. Following the doctor's refusal to become his accomplice, Charlie also loses the support of his girlfriend Susanna (Valeria Golino), who becomes very angry at the way he treats her poor brother.
During the journey to Los Angeles, Charlie's memories begin to resurface of a strange character who sang songs to him when he was a child and who suddenly disappeared from his life. When he realizes Raymond's extraordinary ability to do calculations, Charlie decides to exploit it to gamble in Las Vegas and earn the amount he needs to finally get out of debt. The idea works and with the economic tranquility Charlie also reconnects with Susanna. Charlie considers asking for custody of Raymond, but following a domestic accident he realizes he isn't up to it and decides to take his brother back to the clinic.
