Synopsis – What to Expect from “Heaven Can Wait”
Heaven Can Wait is a 1978 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Warren Beatty and Buck Henry. The film follows Joe Pendleton, a professional football player who is accidentally sent to heaven before his time. Joe is determined to return to Earth, and he is granted his wish by a celestial messenger, Mr. Jordan. Joe is then reincarnated into the body of a wealthy, elderly businessman, who is on the brink of death.
Joe soon discovers that the businessman has a greedy and manipulative wife, Julia Farnsworth. He also finds out that the businessman has been plotting to have his nephew, Tony Abbott, framed for Julia’s murder. Joe must figure out a way to prevent the murder from happening and also find a way to return to his original body.
Meanwhile, Joe falls in love with Betty Logan, the daughter of the businessman’s former business partner. Joe must find a way to get back to his original body before Betty discovers his true identity.
With the help of Mr. Jordan, Joe is able to prevent Tony’s murder and also return to his original body. In the end, Joe and Betty are reunited and live happily ever after.
