After a plane crash in which both their spouses are killed, Sergeant Dutch Van Den Broeck and Congresswoman Kay Chandler's lives are connected. Their spouses were headed to the same address, with identical keys, under Mr. and Mrs. plane tickets. The investigation leads to startling discoveries and an unexpected romance.

Critics Consensus

Even Harrison Ford could not save the dull plot and the slow pacing of the movie.

This might have been tailor-made by director Pollack to ease Ford into more straightforwardly romantic territory.

Looks more like a case of random minds.

2/4

This sluggish adaptation of Warren Adler's heavily altered novel might have gotten by on just Scott Thomas's luminosity.

2.5/4

...a slow, somber drama that’s rarely as engrossing or compelling as its subject matter (and roster of talented performers) might’ve indicated...

3/5

Sydney Pollack directs with real skill, convincingly portraying the emotional complications of middle-aged passion, and is aided by the marvellous performances of Ford and Scott Thomas.

3/4

That kind of unorthodox (and perhaps unintentional) undercurrent is precisely what keeps Random Hearts interesting. Time and again, we see people reacting in ways that are unexpected, yet somehow realistic.

It is rare that I like a movie so widely panned by the critics and audiences. I enjoyed this movie and I was surprised to read other's reactions, but I enjoy getting into the heads of the characters...if you don't, stay away from this movie.
