At First Sight is a 1999 American romantic drama film directed by Irwin Winkler and starring Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino.

[2] Amy Benic (Mira Sorvino) takes a vacation at a spa outside New York City.

Virgil Adamson (Val Kilmer) is a masseur at the spa and gives Amy a massage.

Jennie reveals that their father left the family after putting Virgil through several kinds of treatments in order to restore his sight.

It is a success, but after Virgil regains sight, he becomes confused and disoriented, unable to perceive light and distance.

Dr. Aaron suggests that he should visit Phil Webster (Nathan Lane), a visual physiotherapist.

The pair begin drifting apart, as Virgil finds it hard to decipher the look on Amy's face at times.

Upon returning from a work trip to Atlanta, where she and her ex-husband shared a sensual moment, Amy decides to save the relationship.

Withholding the fact that he is again going blind, Virgil tells her there is one thing he really wants to see, and brings her to a New York Rangers game.

While losing his sight, Virgil decides to look at as many things as possible, going through magazines and pictorial books in the library.

[4] In September 1997, it was announced Val Kilmer had joined the film (now titled Sight Unseen) to play the lead for $9 million.
