Story Synopsis

Blind since childhood, massage therapist Virgil Adamson (Kilmer) meets and falls in love with architect Amy Benic (Sorvino) when she visits his health spa. Certain his life would be better if he could see, Amy convinces Virgil to undergo surgery to restore his sight. But the adjustment to a sighted world that has no connection to the pictures in his mind makes Virgil’s transition an extremely difficult one. Based on the story by Dr. Oliver Sacks, At First Sight focuses on a phenomena known to have occurred only 20 times in the last 200 years.
