Interpretative recount
''Ghost'' begins by presenting Sam Wheat, an improbably named
investment banker (Mr. Swayze), and Molly Jensen, an up-and-coming
artist (Ms. Moore), as an idyllically happy New York couple moving into
a new loft. But an angel being hoisted into the loft's window, a news
report of an airplane crash and even Molly's desire to see a
performance of ''Macbeth'' - all these things foretell trouble. Sure
enough, Sam and Molly are strolling amorously down a deserted street
when a gun-toting mugger appears. Sam's number is up.
Sam Wheat and his fiance Molly Jensen live in Manhattan. Sam
has a high powered job at a local bank, and Molly works on ceramic
art. Sam's friend Carl Bruner also works at the bank. Sam holds the
passwords to some of the bank's major accounts. While returning
home from a movie theater, Sam and Molly are attacked by a
mugger named Willie Lopez. As Sam and Willie struggle over
Willie's gun, a shot rings out, and Willie runs off. Sam chases Willie,
but Willie escapes. Sam then runs back to Molly to see if she's
alright -- but Sam finds himself dead in a devastated Molly's arms,
and Sam realizes that he is now a ghost. Later, Willie finds Sam and
Molly's home, and breaks in while Molly is busy in the bedroom.
Sam scares Willie off before Willie can do anything. Molly didn't
even know Willie and Sam were in the place. Sam follows Willie to
his home, and wants to have Molly turn Willie in, but Sam can't
communicate with Molly because Molly can't see him or hear him.
Sam visits spiritualist Ona May Brown, who can hear him, but not
see him. When Sam convinces Ona May to talk to Molly, Molly
refuses to believe what Ona May says, and Carl tells Molly to have
nothing to do with Ona May. Sam follows Carl to Willie's apartment,
thinking that Carl is about to confront Willie, but instead, Sam
watches in shock as Carl chews Willie out for killing Sam. Willie was
not supposed to kill Sam -- Willie was supposed to steal the
account passwords from Sam's wallet for Carl, so Carl could carry
out a drug money laundering operation. Now Sam and Ona May
must protect Molly from both Willie and Carl, who thinks the
account passwords are in Molly's home.
