In the movie The Benefactor (2015), a wealthy philanthropist named Francis (Richard Gere) becomes entangled in the lives of newly-married couples in an attempt to relive his past. Francis is haunted by personal tragedies and is searching for a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

As the couples navigate their own challenges and aspirations, Francis inserts himself into their lives, offering financial support, advice, and a seemingly endless generosity. However, his involvement begins to take a toll on their relationships, causing tension and turmoil.

As the plot unfolds, Francis's motives and true nature come into question. Is he genuinely trying to help these couples, or is there a hidden agenda behind his benevolent gestures? The movie explores themes of redemption, obsession, and the consequences of meddling with other people's lives.
