Splash – A mermaid in Manhattan: plot, cast and streaming of the film on Rai 1
Tonight, August 7, 2024, on Rai 1 in prime time the film Splash – A mermaid in Manhattan, a 1984 film directed by Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah, will be broadcast. Let’s see the plot and the cast together.
Plot
The film tells the story of a special love between a mermaid and a young boy. It all begins on Cape Cod, where a boy jumps into the water from a boat: in the sea he meets a little mermaid who is swimming. When he wakes up he discovers that he was saved by a sailor and brought back on board. Twenty years pass and Allen (Tom Hanks), a boy who sells fruit and vegetables at the general markets of Manhattan with his brother Freddie (John Candy), is sad because his girlfriend has dumped him. So he arrives on Cape Cod and, falling from a boat, ends up in the sea, risking drowning. He is brought to safety ashore by a beautiful mermaid (Daryl Hannah), the object of research by a strange scientist, Dr. Walter Kornbluth (Eugene Levy).
The creature manages to track down the address of the young Allen, thanks to the data contained in the wallet that he lost during the accident, and decides to reach him by sea. Her arrival in the city is rather bizarre: in fact, she finds herself at the foot of the Statue of Liberty, completely naked among the tourists who, clearly embarrassed, call the police. The officers, recognizing Allen’s documents, call him immediately and he rushes to the place. The mermaid cannot speak, but shows great enthusiasm to see him again. The two go to his house and, in a short time, fall in love. The boy renames her Madison because of her unpronounceable name and, dedicating himself totally to her, even neglects his work. Allen loves her so much that he even asks her to marry him, but she feels forced to refuse: the mermaid keeps a terrible secret that she cannot reveal to him and, as soon as the moon is full, she will have to leave again. To further complicate matters, the scientist, recognizing the photo of the sea creature in the newspaper, decides to reach her to reveal her true identity to everyone. Will Madison be able to escape Dr. Kornbluth and live her love story with Allen?
