Ghost

Ghost is a 1990 American supernatural romance film directed by Jerry Zucker, written by Bruce Joel Rubin, and starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, and Tony Goldwyn. It focuses on Sam Wheat (Swayze), a murdered banker, whose ghost sets out to save his girlfriend, Molly Jensen (Moore), from the person who arranged his murder (Goldwyn) through the help of the psychic Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg).

Ghost was theatrically released on July 13, 1990 by Paramount Pictures to commercial success. It grossed $505 million against a budget of $22–23 million, was the highest-grossing film of 1990, and at the time of its release was the third-highest-grossing film of all time. The film was a sleeper hit, which unexpectedly outperformed several blockbuster action films released during that summer. Its success extended to the home video market, and it was the most rented film of 1991 in the United States. The film initially received mixed reviews from critics, with praise going towards the score and performances of the cast.
