Sleepless in Seattle plot synopsis

Since his wife Maggie passed away from illness, Sam has been living quietly with his 8-year-old son Jonah. He declined the comfort from his friends and the introduction of remarriage. He believed that there was only one true love and he would never find a woman like Maggie again. In order to start a new life, he decided to leave Chicago and live a new life in Seattle.

One and a half years later. Annie, a female reporter in Baltimore, was engaged to her boyfriend Walter. She decided to go to Washington to spend Christmas with her boyfriend. In the car, Annie turned on the radio to listen to the emotional hotline, and happened to hear Jonah calling and asking the host to help his father find a wife. Sam was very angry after knowing what his son had done, but with the patient persuasion of the host, he told his experience. He understands that Jonah needs a new mother, but he also knows that he will never find the perfect lover again. Anne was deeply touched by this sad story.

After Christmas, when Anne returned to the office, she found that almost all her colleagues were talking about it. Legend has it that 2,000 women wanted to get in touch with Sam. Annie told herself that she loved Walter, but the strange thing was that she cared about that "Sleepless Man in Seattle". Under the persuasion of his colleagues, Sam decided to meet a woman named Victoria for a date. And Annie's eyes welled up with tears every time she recalled that psychological interview show. She wanted to write a letter to ask Sam to meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building in New York on Valentine's Day, but she hesitated, so her colleague secretly sent the letter to Sam. Jonah thinks Victoria is unsuitable for his mother, but is close to Anne's letters and wants his father to meet Anne. Anne came to Seattle in the name of reporting and saw Sam greeting his friend Susie. She mistakenly thought it was Sam's girlfriend and gave up meeting Sam. The two only met face to face. After Anne came back, she decided to completely give up this weird feeling and return to Walter, and no longer paid attention to the date. Since Sam didn't plan to go to New York for the appointment, Jonah secretly got on the plane and came to New York alone to meet "Annie", but he couldn't find Annie. After careful consideration, Anne also told Walter about her emotional experience during this period and returned the ring to him. Walter had already noticed the change in her, and he accepted the breakup calmly. Sam knew that Jonah went to New York alone and rushed there. When it got dark, Sam finally found his waiting son on the top floor of the Empire State Building. Anne finally decided to go on the date, but when she arrived she only saw a rucksack. At this moment, Jonah, who had forgotten to take his bag, pulled his father back here. As soon as the two parties met, they immediately understood that the other person was the person they wanted to see, and it was also the partner they hoped for in their hearts. At this time, the top floor of the Empire State Building was about to close, and all visitors had to leave. The security guards were already coughing quietly, signaling that they had to leave. Sam said: "We should go." Annie's disappointment crept up on her brows. At this moment, Sam reached out to Anne in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Why don't we come together?" Anne's excited eyes filled with tears, and then she put her hand in Sam's hand. Jonah looked at his father and future new mother with joy and satisfaction, and happily led the way. Sam just took Annie away and headed towards a happy life in the future.
