Jim Carrey stars as Peter Appleton, a Hollywood screenwriter who, in 1951, receives a summons to testify before the feared House Un-American Activities Committee. But Appleton accidentally crashes his car, develops amnesia and ends up in a small town. His remarkable resemblance to a missing World War II hero, Luke Trimble, causes the residents, including Luke's girlfriend, to rejoice at his "homecoming." The soldier's father (Academy Award winner Martin Landau) happily welcomes his "son," and, together, they refurbish the town's decaying movie theater, The Majestic. But when a film that he wrote plays there, Appleton regains his memory. Now he must choose between the life he left behind and the new one he's grown to love.

Imagine The Return of Martin Guerre as directed by Frank Capra and you're part of the way towards pinning down this out-of-joint American fable. Jim Carrey stars as Peter Appleton, a blacklisted screenwriter in 1950s Hollywood who loses his memory after a car crash and finds himself welcomed home as the lost son of a town still reeling from the aftershock of the second world war. Before you can order a soda at the local Piggly-Wiggly, Appleton is back in business with his cinema-owner "dad" (Martin Landau) and back in the arms of his former "fiancee" (Laurie Holden). He recaptures his memory at about the same time as the feds arrive to recapture him.

Comedian Jim Carrey takes on a relatively serious role as Hollywood screenwriter Peter Appleton in this family-oriented fiction set in the early 1950s. Just as Peter sees his career beginning to take off, he gets notice to appear before the Congressional Committee on un-American Activities led by Senator Joe McCarthy. With implications of being Communist, Pete quickly sees his dreams fade away. But after a late night car accident, Pete wakes up on the outskirts of Lawson, California and can’t remember anything. Harry (Martin Landau), owner of the town’s run-down theater, recognizes Pete as his son Luke, thought lost during World War II. Lawson lost 62 of its young men in the war and with the war dead, the town lost hope for the future, reflected in the neglected Majestic. Believing Pete is Luke, finally returning from the war, restores the town’s hope. In turn, the town helps restore the movie palace to its former glory. But when both his memory and the law catch up to Pete, will the town’s dreams fade again? Although it rides an emotional rollercoaster, audiences will cheer this inspiring and patriotic story reminiscent of Frank Capra’s films.
