An engrossing film that challenges us to think about the true meaning of heroism in this age of media-manufactured celebrities.

A mess, though very often an enjoyable one, thanks to the cast.

Comes close to working, but finally fails to click

A little more zip, and Hero might really have worked. It has all the ingredients for a terrific entertainment, but it lingers over the kinds of details that belong in a different kind of movie.

The cast is reduced to acting out a series of adjectives.

The Spectator
Rating: C --
A misconceived project, inspired by classic Hollywood films of golden age (Nothing Scared, Hail the Conquering Hero) but marred by underdeveloped and rambling script--Stephen Frears first big failure.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Ace reporter Gale Gayley (Geena Davis) literally falls into the story of a lifetime when she's a passenger on an airplane that crashes into a Chicago bridge. In the smoke and darkness, she's saved by a rude, foul-mouthed "hero," who promptly disappears into the night leaving only one shoe behind. When Gale's TV station offers a million dollars to the mystery hero, a gentle Vietnam vet (Andy Garcia) appears to claim the prize and share it with the city's homeless. But this screwball story is complicated by the fact that the real hero is asmall-time crook (Dustin Hoffman) whom nobody believes. Both men have something heroic inside, as well as something to hide, and it's up to Gale to discover the true meaning of courage.
