Annie comments, 'Now that was when people KNEW how to be in love.' Becky replies, 'That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. Later, Annie and her best friend, Becky (Rosie O'Donnell), discuss romance while watching the Cary Grant classic An Affair to Remember (1957). Even though she is already engaged, Annie becomes obsessed with the man dubbed 'Sleepless in Seattle.' In Baltimore, Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) hears Sam describe his magical relationship with his wife. Jonah eventually puts a reluctant Sam on the phone. Jonah recognizes his father is having trouble coping with his loss and calls a radio talk show for advice. In Seattle, widower Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) is trying to start a new life for himself and his young son, Jonah (Ross Malinger). The film follows its two main characters who live on opposite sides of the United States. It also became known as 'the' date movie of 1993.

The romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle, which Ephron co-wrote and directed, cost $22 million to make, but earned $126 million at U.S. The following year however, Ephron struck gold. In 1992, Academy Award nominated writer Nora Ephron made her directorial debut with the box office disappointment This is My Life starring Julie Kavner. And, of course, Jonah's dad does not even know yet that he and Annie are made for each other. First, she is presently engaged to marry another man whom she does love. And as Annie sees it, there are just two minor problems. Meanwhile, Annie becomes convinced that it is her destiny to meet Sam, Jonah's lovely dad. Jonah and his dad are immediately besieged by countless letters from listeners reaching out to help, including thousands of marriage proposals from women across the country.

Meanwhile, all the way across the country, punching buttons on her car radio as she drives from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., Annie Reed hears Jonah and is immediately captivated by him and his selfless Christmas wish. A little boy, who is tuned in from Seattle calls in his wish, a new wife for his father who has been widowed for a year and a half. It's Christmas Eve and radio talk show psychologist Marcia Fieldstone has asked her listening audience what they are wishing and dreaming of during this season of hope.
