Adam Sandler plays a man who lost is family in the 9/11 attacks on New York, but when he rekindles the friendship with an old college roommate (Don Cheadle), it helps him get over his grief.
“I always wanted to write a story about friendship,” says Mike Binder, writer-director of Columbia Pictures’ new drama, Reign Over Me, which stars Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle as old friends who reconnect after years apart.
The two become lifelines for each other as each experiences a difficult passage in his life. “Every one of us needs a friend to help us through the tough times. This whole movie is about communication – two men who, together, learn to start talking.”
At the center of Reign Over Me is the relationship between Charlie Fineman (Sandler) and Alan Johnson (Cheadle), former college roommates who meet again by chance after many years. Charlie has lost his entire family. He is a man whose grief is so great that he has isolated himself and withdrawn from his former life.
While Alan’s life seems perfect in comparison, he is nevertheless overwhelmed by his family and professional responsibilities and needs support in order to learn to see the blessings he has.
