It is then that Charlie learns that his estranged father died and left him from his last will and testament a huge bed of roses and the car while the remainder will of $3 Million goes into a trust fund to be distributed to someone. Charlie seemed pretty angry by this and decides to look into this matter. It seems as if that "someone" is Raymond, Charlie's unknown brother, an autistic savant who lives in a world of his own, resides at the Walbrook Institute.

I first saw Rain Man for sociology and psychology in school and loved it so I hired it out from the video store. I have seen it four times. It is a great laugh but also shows how people with disabilities are treated in the world.
