After the death of his wife, Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) moves to Seattle with his son, Jonah (Ross Mallinger). Jonah’s worried about his father, so he calls in to a talk-radio program to find a new wife for him. So Sam grudgingly gets on the line to discuss his feelings. Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) hears Sam on the radio she feels an instant connection. Unsure where it will lead, she writes Sam a letter asking him to meet her at the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day.
