Distributor: Miramax Films
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Cast: Robert Redford, Jennifer Lopez, Morgan Freeman,

Synopsis: Set against the rugged ranchlands of Wyoming,
AN UNFINISHED LIFE is the story of a modern-day Western family, as stoic
as they are divided, learning the true meaning of forgiveness. Robert
Redford stars as Einar Gilkyson, a tough-skinned, retired rancher who
long ago turned his back on memories. Still in shock from his only son's
death a decade ago, Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin along with
his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired hand,
and last trusted friend, Mitch (Morgan Freeman), who was gravely injured
in an encounter with a grizzly bear. Einar intends to live out his days
in this heartbroken solitude . . . until the very per-son he blames for
his son's accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean (Jennifer Lopez).
Jean shows up broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff (newcomer
Becca Gardner), who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he
had. Suddenly, Einar's quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations
resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11 year-old Griff's curiosity about
Western life, and her longing for family and a father figure, begin to
chip away at the stone that has become Einar's heart - opening up the
way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion.
