Robert Altman's mosaic masterpiece, based on Raymond Carver's short stories, presents a variety of characters -- including a baker, a phone-sex provider and a clown -- whose stale lives intersect and are forever altered through simple twists of fate. Tim Robbins, Robert Downey Jr., Madeleine Stowe, Matthew Modine, Lily Tomlin, Andie MacDowell, Jack Lemmon and Anne Archer are just a few of the big names among this moving tale's all-star cast.
