“They're here to save the world.”
After losing their university posts, three parapsychologists turn their expertise into a ghost-catching business in New York City. Their new work quickly pulls them into a string of paranormal disturbances that are more than a simple local nuisance. As the sightings spread, they uncover a supernatural threat with consequences far beyond their own survival.
Ivan Reitman directs the film, shaping its mix of comedy and fantasy around a team of unlikely professionals. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis play the former academics who build the Ghostbusters operation and take on the strange cases that follow. Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis are among the cast, bringing the story’s human side into contact with the chaos around them.
Made in the United States and released in 1984, the film uses New York City as a busy, skeptical backdrop for its supernatural mayhem. Its tone blends deadpan humor with eerie spectacle, keeping the story light even as the danger grows. The result is a playful urban fantasy about science, belief and the business of confronting the impossible.
