'Bogus'

Scene from this movie Seven-year-old Albert lives in a glitzy showbiz community. His mother, Lorraine, is part of a Las Vegas magic show. But Albert, who wants to be a master illusionist when he grows up, is about to have his dreams dashed. When Lorraine dies in a car accident, the grief-stricken boy is flown to Newark to start a new life with Harriet Franklin (Whoopi Goldberg), Lorraine’s adopted sister.

On the plane to New Jersey, Albert draws a face with a big nose. Suddenly, the sketch comes to life and a grown man called Bogus (Gerard Depardieu) appears. Now Albert has a devoted playmate whom no one but he can see.
