Steve Martin plays Harris K. Telemacher, a news meteorologist living in Los Angeles. He is in a meaningless relationship with his girlfiend Trudi, played by Marilu Henner, and wants to find some meaning and magic in his life. At a luncheon with a group of friends, he meets Sara, a journalist from London played by Victoria Tennant with whom he immediately becomes infatuated. Driving home that night, his car breaks down on the freeway and he pulls over into the shoulder, only to realize that a freeway traffic condition sign is displaying messages intended solely for him. The sign offers Harris cryptic advice on his love life throughout the movie. While he begins to fall for Sara, she feels she has a commitment to her ex-husband, Roland, played by Richard E. Grant, with whom she has tentatively pledged to reconcile. Afraid a relationship with Sara is impossible, Harris decides to go out with the ditzy blonde SanDeE*, a wannabe spokesmodel, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, whom he met at a clothing store. After the date with SanDeE*, Harris learns that Trudi has been cheating on him for three years with his agent; the revelation sets him free. He decides to pursue his love interest in Sara, but this is still complicated by his relationship with SanDeE* and by Sara's obligation to Roland. In the end he succeeds, with more help from the freeway sign.
