What happens

Reach Me is a 2014 American drama film directed and written by John Herzfeld. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Kyra Sedgwick, Terry Crews, Thomas Jane, Kevin Connolly, Lauren Cohan, Kelsey Grammer, and Tom Berenger. The film was produced by Rebekah Chaney, Cassian Elwes, Buddy Patrick, John Herzfeld. The plot revolves around how a self-help book inspires a diverse group of people: journalist Roger King and his editor Gerald, former inmate Colette, hip-hop mogul E-Ruption, actress Eve and undercover cop Detective Wolfe. The creation of Reach Me was influenced as least partly by Herzfeld's memories of seeing televangelist Reverend Ike and reading Napoleon Hill's self-help book Think and Grow Rich, although Herzfeld says the film is "not about getting rich, but believing in yourself."
