Top banana Cameron Crowe (JERRY MAGUIRE, All but Illustrious) teams up with Tom Cruise once again in an adaptation of Alejandro Amenabar's 1997 Spanish film OPEN YOUR EYES. Cruise plays David Aames, a playboy publisher matchless a seemingly charmed life. His most modern buddy is his "friend" Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz), who cares for David more than he realizes. When David meets the fetching Sofia Serrano (Penelope Cruz) at his birthday festival, he awakens to the capacity of what trusty love can feel , leaving Julie distraught. However, after an mischance that changes David's obsession, he is forced to rethink his choices. This intellectual thriller becomes barrel coaster drive a horse of flashbacks as David tries to make sense of all that has happened, relaying some surreal experiences to a psychiatrist (Kurt Russell) after being charged with extermination.
