Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah star in the witty romantic comedy, based on the classic French play, Cyrano de Bergerac.

Steve Martin stars as C.D. Bales, a sensitive, articulate fireman with an unusually long nose.

He falls for newly-arrived beautiful astronomy student Roxanne Kowalski but, feeling himself unworthy of her love, resigns himself to securing her affections for Chris, a shy, stupid but better looking fellow fireman.
