The Weather Man -- A Chicago weatherman who is separated from his wife and children, debates whether professional and personal success are mutually exclusive.

Chicago weatherman David Spritz (Nicolas Cage) is living the life most of us dream of: he's a celebrity, makes a six-figure salary working two hours a day, and is on the short list for the meteorologist job on a national morning show. But his professional successes are overshadowed by his personal failures. He's divorced from his wife, his kids are slipping away from him and even his Pulitzer Prize-winning father (Michael Caine) won't take him seriously.

A television weatherman, despite making a lot of money, finds his personal life falling apart. He lives in the shadow of a successful father, he's divorced from his wife, and his relationship with his children is tenuous at best.
