The movie While You Were Sleeping is a romantic comedy film, released in 1995, directed by Jon Turtletaub and written by Daniel G. Sullivan and Fredric LeBow. The movie stars Sandra Bullock as Lucy Moderatz, a lonely Chicago Transit Authority token collector, who has a secret crush on a commuter named Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher). One day, Peter falls onto the railway tracks, and Lucy rescues him just in time before a train arrives. However, he falls into a coma, and Lucy accompanies him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Lucy mistakenly tells the nursing staff that she's Peter's fiancée, and they assume that she's his true love. The Callaghan family, including Peter's brother Jack (Bill Pullman) and his grandmother (Glynis Johns), warmly accept Lucy into their home, and she doesn't correct them as she feels she finally has a family. However, as Lucy spends more time with the Callaghan family, she realizes that she's falling in love with Jack.
As Lucy tries to navigate through her growing feelings for Jack and the falsehoods she's told, she finds herself caught up in a web of lies that threatens to unravel at any moment. Suffice to say, the situation gets more complex as Peter awakens from his coma, and both brothers find themselves competing for Lucy's love.
Over time, Lucy's web of lies becomes so elaborate that she realizes she must come clean to the Callaghan family. What follows is a mix of heartwarming moments, hilarious misunderstandings, and dramatic revelations that lead to a happy ending for all involved. The movie was a box-office success, and Sandra Bullock was praised for her charming and heart-touching performance as Lucy Moderatz.
