This is the story of a young man, Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) whose father pases away. He could really use an inheritance because his business is not doing well, but his father cuts him out of the will for a different beneficiary. He and his girlfriend (Valeria Golino) go to an institution looking for the beneficiary. And his autistic brother, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) finds them because of the classic car he did inherit. Raymond gets in the car saying he has driven it before.
Charlie concocts a plan to take Raymond to L.A., hoping he can manipulate a better inheritance. Charlie did not know of his brother, and the trip helps him bond. They go through hotels and Las Vegas, but they do not fly. Raymond is afraid of airplanes based on his knowing all the statistics about air crashes. By the time their trip is over, Charlie appeals for a reconsideration of guardianship, not because of greed, but because of his relationship.
