Mel Gibson plays Nick Marshall, a swinging bachelor scaling the corporate
ladder of one of Chicago’s hottest ad agencies. But Nick’s fast-track
success is derailed when the agency overlooks him and hires beautiful Darcy
McGuire (Helen Hunt) as the new creative director. As Nick’s prospects begin
to dim, he is jolted by a freak accident that leaves him with an extraordinary
ability: he can hear what women think – and want! Using his newfound gift to
his advantage, Nick schemes to undermine Darcy by listening to her thoughts and
stealing her ideas until something happens that he didn’t account for – he
hears his own inner voice…
and realises he’s in love.
