Sommersby

This romantic drama stars Richard Gere as Confederate soldier Jack Sommersby, who goes home to his wife Laurel (Jodie Foster) after the war. Feeling guilty for assuming Jack was dead and getting engaged to another man, Laurel decides to take back the husband she never loved and finds he's a different man -- perhaps literally. His benevolent acts attract the attention of Laurel's scorned beau, who digs into Jack's past and finds he's a wanted man.
