About this product

Product Information

Tom Hanks plays Andrew Beckett, a hotshot Philadelphia lawyer who has been keeping his homosexuality, and his AIDS, hidden from his conservative bosses. When he's suddenly and inexplicably fired, Andrew suspects AIDS is the reason, and is determined to fight in court, even as he is losing his other battle, against the disease. Beckett hires attorney Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) to represent him, but the lawyer must first overcome his own homophobia and fears. Director Jonathan Demme filmed this after winning the Oscar for SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. The amazing cast includes Antonio Banderas, Joanne Woodward, and Jason Robards. Roger Corman and Charles Napier, both in LAMBS, make appearances. Bruce Springsteen's haunting song "Streets of Philadelphia" plays over the memorable opening credits. This sensitive, moody film touches on a vast array of subjects surrounding gay and straight men, family, and death, without ever being maudlin or preachy, which is to its immense credit. An undoubted influence on society's growing acceptance of homosexuality, PHILADELPHIA reminds us how far we've come in that direction, and how far we still need to go.

  • Star-Studded Eye opener!

    Right off the bat, you know you're in for a good movie when there's stars of the magnitude of Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. For us females, Antonio Bandaras' is a plus-definitely eye-candy! The story line, 13 years ago, was quite nrw, but had had enough publicity to make an awesome movie, and be a ground-breaker for legal cases of this type. Hanks, a smart, respected Lawyer in a rather large and prestigious Law-Firm has kept his private life just that, for good reason. He's a homosexual who's contracted AIDS from his younger days, in an irresponsible act, as is brought out later in the movie. When his case of AIDS starts manifesting itself by visible lesions, the Big Boys of his Law Firm fire him on trumped-up reasons. Hanks, not playing the fool, as the famous quote from Abraham ...

  • Philadelphia (VHS, 1994)

    Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) is a hot-shot Philadelphia lawyer. He is on the fast track and is on his way to the top. He does have a problem though. He has been hiding his homosexuality, and his AIDS infection, from his bosses. They are ultra-conservative, and then one day skin lesions appear. Suddenly he is fired with no reason offered. Knowing full well that it is because he has AIDS, he hires an attorney, Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), to represent him. Joe has to overcome his own personal homophobia first. As the fight progresses in court, Andrew is losing the other battle, against the disease. This is a sad movie.

    I purchased this to display in my hoagie shop. The shop is a Philly themed and since it was filmed there and of course of the name as well as signed by Tom Hanks, well I had to buy!
