The touching directorial debut of blockbuster screenwriter Alex Kurtzman, People Like Us stars Chris Pine as Sam, a fast-talking, headstrong salesman. When his famous — and famously difficult — music impresario father dies, Sam returns home for the first time in years, where he is tasked with fulfilling his estranged father’s last wish — delivering an inheritance he believes is rightfully his to the sister he never know he had, played by Elizabeth Banks. Torn between anger at his father and a growing sense of responsibility for his sister and her son, Sam must come to terms with the family he thought he knew in this moving drama based on a true story.
