The Accidental Tourist is a 1988 American drama film.
Based on the Anne Tyler novel of the same name, the plot revolves around Macon Leary, a Baltimore writer of travel guides whose son has been killed in a senseless shooting at a fast-food restaurant. He and his wife Sarah, separately lost in grief, find their marriage disintegrating, until she eventually moves out. When he becomes incapacitated due to a fall, he returns to the family home to stay with his eccentric siblings - sister Rose and brothers Porter and Charles - whose odd habits include alphabetizing the groceries in the kitchen cabinets and ignoring the ringing telephone. When his publisher Julian comes to visit, he finds himself attracted to Rose.
Macon hires Muriel Pritchett, a quirky young woman with a sickly son, to train his unruly dog, and soon finds himself drifting into a relationship with the two of them. When Sarah becomes aware of the situation, she decides they should reconcile, forcing him to make a difficult decision about his future.
Frank Galati's screenplay was directed by Lawrence Kasdan. The cast included William Hurt as Macon, Kathleen Turner as Sarah, Geena Davis as Muriel, Amy Wright as Rose, David Ogden Stiers as Porter, Ed Begley, Jr. as Charles, and Bill Pullman as Julian.
Davis won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance. The film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score.
