Plot

Peggy Sue Got Married is a 1986 American fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage, and Barry Miller. The film tells the story of Peggy Sue Bodell (Kathleen Turner), who finds herself transported back in time to her own past when she faints at her high school reunion. When she wakes up, she is suddenly 16 years old again, standing outside her family's home on the day before she graduated from high school. Initially confused and disoriented, Peggy Sue soon realizes that she has been given a second chance to relive her teenage years and make different choices about her life. She decides to take advantage of this opportunity and tries to change the course of events that led her to marry Charlie Bodell (Nicolas Cage) at 17. As Peggy Sue navigates high school again, she is faced with the same challenges and characters she knew as a teenager, including her overbearing mother (Suzanne Pleshette), her father (Beau Bridges), and her former classmates. She also encounters Charlie, who is now a charming but slightly awkward outsider at school. Throughout the film, Peggy Sue struggles to reconcile her adult perspective with her teenage experiences. She must confront her own insecurities, learn to assert herself, and make difficult decisions about her relationships and future. Meanwhile, she also becomes increasingly aware of the consequences of changing the past, as small alterations have a ripple effect on the lives of those around her. Peggy Sue Got Married is a heartwarming and humorous exploration of the complexities of growing up and the power of self-discovery. With its unique blend of fantasy, comedy, and drama, the film offers a fresh take on the classic "fish out of water" story, as Peggy Sue navigates her way through high school once again.
