Le ciel peut attendre

L’histoire

Joe Pendleton, un footballeur professionnel, se prépare à disputer le Superbowl. Mais il meurt dans un accident. Au ciel, les «autorités» le renvoient sur Terre car son heure n'a pas encore sonné. Joe prend l'identité du magnat Leo Farnsworth, assassiné par sa femme infidèle. Désormais riche, Joe-Leo décide de prendre en main le destin de son ancienne équipe, non sans avoir convaincu son entraîneur de sa double identité. Il rachète les Rams et se propose de les emmener jusqu'à la finale. Il projette également d'épouser Betty, une militante écologiste. Au moment où tout semble lui réussir, un messager du ciel lui apparaît...
