Tom Hanks is a father who builds a compelling story about a key, for his son.
His son knew that if the sun were to explode, it would be 8 minutes before we knew about it on earth. Using this fact, he wanted to find the lock that would take the key his father had left him, deciding that if he found the lock before the memory died, he could make his father last forever.
Hanks died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, so the quest becomes a driving force in the son's life, and the center point to a very sad film.
The trouble with the film is that when you strip away that sadness, you've got virtually nothing left.
