Mitch Albom wrote the screenplay for this made-for-television adaptation of his best-selling story, which offers a novel perspective on life, death, and the meaning of our existence.
Eddie (

Eddie has had a hard life, sustaining a serious injury during World War II and losing his wife, and he often wonders what the purpose behind it all is. One day,
Eddie is killed while trying to save a young girl who has fallen from a ride, and in the afterlife, he's greeted by five people he knew during his lifetime, who explain to him what the key moments in his life were, and what was to be learned from them.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven also features
Steven Grayhm (who plays
Eddie as a younger man),
Ellen Burstyn,
Jeff Daniels,
Michael Imperioli, and
Callum Keith Rennie.
