Plot:
Bill Parrish, media tycoon, loving father and still a human being, is
about to celebrate his 65th birthday. One morning, he is contacted by
the Inevitable - by hallucination, as he thinks. Later, Death itself
enters his home and his life, personified in a man's body: Joe Black has
arrived. His intention was to take Bill with him, but accidentally,
Joe's former host and Bills beautiful daughter Susan have already met.
Joe begins to develop certain interest in life on earth as well as in
Susan, who has no clue who she's flirting with.

daughter, Joe threatens to change the rules. Now Bill must fight not

and death.
