Forces of Nature is a 1999 American romantic comedy film directed by Bronwen Hughes, and starring Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock alongside Maura Tierney, Steve Zahn, Blythe Danner, and Ronny Cox.

Sarah reveals she's already done it twice and is traveling to Savannah to collect a large sum of money from the sale of a bagel shop that she opened with her estranged husband, Carl.

The next day, Sarah discovers Carl is attempting to thwart the sale, so asks Ben to pretend to be her husband once in Savannah.

She explains that she plans to give her 10 year-old son from her first marriage, who she hasn't seen in two years, the money to mend fences between them.

They begin to kiss, but Ben stops himself and they leave to collect the money his parents have wired him, only to discover the bank is on fire.

Sarah recalls seeing a cheap car for sale in town, so offers to striptease in a local bar to raise the money for it.

On the road to Savannah, Ben tells Sarah he's prepared to cancel the wedding, but she says it would be rash after only knowing each other a short time.

[4] Forces of Nature collected $13.5 million during its opening weekend, ranking in first place at the box office above True Crime and Analyze This.

The website's critics consensus reads, "A distinct lack of chemistry between Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock, coupled with a screwball sensibility that's a touch too screwy, scupper Forces of Nature's modest ambition to serve up romantic charm.
