Ellie Andrews is the young daughter of a millionaire who doesn’t accept her marriage. She decides to run away to New York so that she can be reunited with her fiancé. On a night bus she encounters Peter Wayne, a recently fired reporter who offers her a deal: if Ellie gives him the exclusive story, he won’t tell anyone where she is and will help her get to her destiny. Ellie accepts the offer and the two embark on a road trip full of adventures, during which their initial distaste for each other makes room for other feelings.

Winner of five Academy awards, including best picture and best director.
