Splash

Splash (1984) is Ron Howard's fantasy romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, starring Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. New York produce merchant Allen Bauer has always felt drawn to the sea — and off Cape Cod he finds out why.

A beautiful woman pulls him from the water and disappears. Days later she turns up naked beside the Statue of Liberty, strides into Manhattan, and learns English from a television set in one afternoon. She calls herself Madison. Allen is hopeless — she's spontaneous, funny and hiding exactly one thing: a mermaid's tail. Eugene Levy plays the obsessive scientist determined to expose her, while John Candy plays Allen's brother, whose advice consistently makes everything worse.

The film became the launch title for Disney's Touchstone Pictures label, earning $70 million on an $8 million budget and making Tom Hanks a leading-man name overnight. Stream Splash (1984) online on iFILM.
