About this movie

Billy Connolly plays Steve Myers, a lawyer who became a fisherman from frustration. When his one piece of property, his boat, is struck by lightning and destroyed, he is denied insurance money because it was 'an act of God'. He re-registers as a lawyer and sues the insurance company and the church under the guise of God, representing himself. The accident leads him to a friendship and eventual relationship with a journalist, Anna Redmond (Judy Davis).
