The Vow is based on a true story.

In the new romantic drama The Vow, a happily married couple find themselves challenged as they suddenly have to start their relationship all over again.

Paige (Rachel MCAdams) and Leo (Channing Tatum) are a young married couple, madly in love and living fulfilling lives as artists in Chicago. Then, on a snowy night, they are involved in a car accident. Leo survives intact, but a head injury erases Paige’s memory, including that of her relationship with her husband.

Paige has reverted mentally to the young law student she was five years earlier, before she met Leo and became an artist. She is no longer the wife Leo knew, and she no longer recognises her current life.

Paige doesn’t understand why she would have dropped out of university to become an artist. Making matters worse, Paige also thinks she’s still engaged to a businessman named Jeremy (Scott Speedman) and is reluctant to embrace Leo, with his less conventional lifestyle as a musician.

With Leo worried that he may have lost the love of his life, he decides to start afresh and court Paige as if they’ve just met, with the hope that he can make her fall in love with him all over again.

Catch the drama and romance when The Vow hits cinemas on April 5.
