Airplane crash survivors Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez struggle to cope with their experience. Bridges starts to believe he is invulnerable to death, which gives him an almost religious outlook on his own life. He takes it upon himself to comfort other survivors, most notably Perez, who lost her young son. Perez leans on her Catholic religion, but is afraid to leave her own house until Bridges coaxes her out. Their relationship threatens to cross the line, further endangering his already shaky marriage with Isabella Rossellini. The film works on multiple levels: as religious allegory, as a psychiatric case study, but best of all as a story of one man's attempt to find the meaning of his life, and ultimately our own.
