Career-driven and ambitious, Ted Kramer (Hoffman) returns home from one night to be told by his wife, Joanna (Streep), that she is leaving him. Ted is suddenly forced to juggle his full-time career and caring for their six year old son - a skill set he is severely lacking.
Seemingly making progress, Joanna later returns wanting her son back. The two embark on messy, heartbreaking divorce proceedings...
