'Heaven Can Wait' is a romantic fantasy about Joe Pendleton (Warren Beatty), a Los Angeles Rams quarterback who is accidentally summoned to Heaven by an overly zealous celestial escort. Pendleton is returned to earth in the body of another man, who is a corporate giant. While practicing to once again play for the Rams, Pendleton must escape attempts on his life while romantically pursuing a beautiful Englishwoman (Julie Christie) who protects the destruction caused to her village by one of his many corporations.
Synopsis: A professional quarterback has a wreck. He is taken out of his body prematurely. He wasn't supposed to die. As a temporary measure, he is put into the body of an elderly millionaire who was recently murdered.
