Oh, God!
Director: Carl Reiner
Actors: John Denver, George Burns, Teri Garr
PlotJerry Landers, a mild-mannered assistant manager at a grocery store, leads an ordinary life until he receives a visit from God, who appears to him in the form of an old man. God informs Jerry that he has been chosen to deliver a message to the world. Initially skeptical, Jerry is reluctant to believe what he sees and hears, but God gradually convinces him through a series of undeniable miracles. With a new sense of purpose, Jerry agrees to take on this divine mission, despite his lack of religious experience or deep faith. He sets out to share God's message of kindness and caring with humanity, hopeful of inspiring positive change in the world.
As Jerry attempts to spread God's word, he faces a barrage of disbelief, ridicule, and opposition from those around him. His wife, friends, and colleagues question his sanity, while religious and media figures view him with suspicion or outright hostility. Despite the mounting challenges and personal sacrifices, Jerry remains determined to fulfill his newfound role. The journey places his relationships and beliefs under intense scrutiny as he wrestles with how to best convey the profound message entrusted to him. As Jerry navigates this difficult path, it becomes apparent that his endeavor is not just about proving God's existence but also about inspiring others to recognize the power of faith and goodness in their own lives.
