The film tells the story of Cole Sear, a troubled, isolated boy who is able to see and talk to the dead, and an equally troubled child psychologist who tries to help him.

Upon release, the film was received well; critics highlighted the performances, its atmosphere, and its surprise twist ending. The film was the second highest grossing film of 1999, grossing about $293 million domestically and about $379 million internationally. Its worldwide total is $672,806,292. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
