When Harry Met Sally

When Harry Met Sally is a 1989 American romantic comedy film directed by Rob Reiner and written by Nora Ephron. The plot follows the main characters from the moment they meet in Chicago just before embarking on a cross-country road trip, through twelve years of accidental meetings in New York City. The film addresses, but does not resolve, questions such as "Can men and women ever just be friends?".

Rob Reiner's divorce from Penny Marshall sparked the idea for the film. Harry was inspired by an interview Ephron made with Reiner. Sally was inspired by Ephron and a few of her pals. Crystal joined the project and contributed to the screenplay, making Harry funnier. Ephron provided the film's structure, with most of the dialogue based on Reiner and Crystal's real-life friendship.
