Night Shymalan and was his major breakthrough as a filmmaker, establishing many of his stylistic trademarks, such as a story that involves a troubled everyman protagonist investigating spooky occurrences, a steady build-up of suspense with brief glimpses of whatever's haunting the main characters, the director himself playing a small supporting role, a soundtrack by James Newton Howard, and the story culminating in a major reveal that puts the rest of the story in a new perspective. Due to the iconic status of the film, many plot elements that were originally twists are often not spoiler-tagged, so be wary of spoilers. The film stars Bruce_Willis, Haley Joel Osment, and Toni Collette. For Osment, his role in this film became his most iconic one as a child actor. The film tells the story of child psychologist Malcolm Crowe, whose life has become troubled ever since he was nearly murdered by a former patient gone mad. Malcolm still loves his wife, but she has grown distant from him ever since that night and he seems unable to get any respect from anyone else, and he remains troubled over the fate of the patient he failed to help. Malcolm gets a second chance to make up for his past mistakes when he meets a similarly troubled young boy named Cole Sear whose mental and physical health is becoming a big concern for his single mother Lynn. Cole shares his problems with Malcolm, and Malcom doesn't believe them at first, but he soon learns that Cole's issues are very real and have a deeper connection to his own than he initially realized. . . The film was a massive box office and critical success, earning $672.8 million dollars at the box office.
