Marking the first on-screen pairing of real-life couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick in 20 years (The Woodman) , THE BEST YOU CAN explores the intoxicating pull of connection when two strangers’ worlds collide. Cynthia Rand (Kyra Sedgwick) is a meticulous urologist with a life built on order, routine, and the steady brilliance of her Watergate–veteran husband Warren (Judd Hirsch), who finds her world quietly tilting as Warren slips into the early fog of dementia.

Across the river, Stan Olszewski (Kevin Bacon), a bright but underachieving security guard, coasts through his days, nursing regret and dodging ambition. Their lives intersect one night when Stan disrupts a break-in at Cynthia’s Brooklyn home; an act of chance that sparks an unexpected tether between two people who didn’t know they were lonely. As Cynthia grapples with the unravelling of the life she built, and Stan confronts the one he’s avoided building at all, their friendship drifts towards something neither anticipated. Tender and quietly subversive, THE BEST YOU CAN asks the question: what is the cost of admitting you might want more?

THE BEST YOU CAN is directed by Michael J. Weithorn and stars Kevin Bacon (Footloose, A Few Good Men), Kyra Sedgwick (Born on the Fourth of July, Singles), Judd Hirsch (Ordinary People, Independence Day), Brittany O’Grady (The White Lotus, Black Christmas) and Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond, Ice Age). It’s produced by Victoria Hill, Andrew Mann, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick and Michael J. Weithorn.
