What happens

Rear Window is a 1998 American made-for-television crime-drama thriller film directed by Jeff Bleckner. The teleplay by Larry Gross and Eric Overmyer is an updated adaptation of the classic 1954 film of the same name directed by Alfred Hitchcock which was based on the short story It Had to Be Murder by Cornell Woolrich. It was broadcast in the United States by ABC on November 22, 1998. The film stars Christopher Reeve (in one of his final screen appearances, and his last leading role), Daryl Hannah, and Robert Forster. It was Reeve's first substantial role since his tetraplegia-inducing injury in 1995. For his performance, Reeve was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a Screen Actors Guild Award.
