George Bailey has spent his entire life giving to the people of Bedford Falls. All that prevents rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town is George's modest building and loan company. But on Christmas Eve the business's $8,000 is lost and George's troubles begin.

— Critical consensus, summarised
Frank Capra's Christmas-perennial morality tale that flopped on release and slowly became one of the most beloved American films ever made. Critics now treat it as a near-perfect study of American disappointment and grace; James Stewart at his most vulnerable.
