After renovating their expensive loft in the TriBeCa area of downtown Manhattan, Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (Patrick Swayze), a yuppie couple, are walking home one evening when Sam is tragically gunned down by a street mugger. Molly goes into a deep depression, but, unknown to her, Sam has come back as a ghost in order to protect her from danger--although he isn't yet aware who or what means her harm, and he has a lot of learning to do in order to make himself known to her. He teams up with an unwilling psychic, Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), and together they try to convince a very sceptical Molly that Sam was actually murdered and has returned spectrally to complete some unfinished business. Moore and Swayze and are excellent as the couple, and Goldberg won an Oscar for her portrayal of the wild and wacky psychic. GHOST is considered by many to be one of the most romantic films of the 1990s.
A young stockbroker and his girlfriend move into an apartment and look forward to a lovely future. However, their dreams are cut short when Sam is killed in a senseless attack. The newly bereft Molly goes into a deep depression... but Sam's a lot closer than she may realize. With the help of a psychic, Sam's ghost must convince a sceptical Molly that he was, in fact, murdered, and protect her from impending danger.
