Instead of France was established in the 17th century, “Cyrano” was modified “for Charlie”, fire chief in a small city in Washington. Roxanne played by beautiful Darryl Hanna, rents a summer house to see comets and Charlie quickly falls in love with her. Is Charlie intelligent, funny, and sensitive, but all his perfect qualities are darkened unfortunately by his very big nose (”They Excuse Me, he that his nose or a bus parked in his face?”). The friend of Charlie, Chris, of another side, is quite attractive, but superficial and clumsy with words, specially around women (he has a tendency of vomiting very much). Both men are bewitched with Roxanne, but link, in a movement superficial but prethat can be said, it shows the interest in pretty Chris. Chris is of imprisoned language around his — everything that goes out from his mouth is common or indecipherable. So he asks the Charlie the help. Charlie, inspired, writes 3 letters of love in a day to Roxanne, without knowledge of Chris. The eloquent work of letters of Charlie, because Roxanne falls in the love with Chris. But Chris cannot satisfy expectations of Roxanne in the person and he soon escapes with a waitress who is “quite attractive, also”.

Isto é uma nova versão de Cyrano de Bergerac, um dos jogos mais célebres do teatro francês, escrito por Edmond Rostand. Em vez de ser estabelecido no 17o século a França, “Cyrano” foi modificado “para Charlie”, chefe de fogo em uma pequena cidade em Washington. Roxanne, jogado por belo Darryl Hanna, aluga uma casa do Verão para ver cometas e Charlie rapidamente enamora-se dela. Charlie é inteligente, engraçada, e sensível, mas todas as suas qualidades perfeitas são infelizmente obscurecidas pelo seu nariz muito grande (”Desculpam-me, ele que o seu nariz ou um ônibus estacionaram na sua cara?”). O amigo de Charlie, Chris, de outro lado, é bastante atraente, mas superficial e desajeitado com palavras, especialmente em volta de mulheres (ele tem uma tendência de vomitar muito). Ambos os homens são encantados com Roxanne, mas ela, em um movimento superficial mas predizível, mostra o interesse em bonito Chris. Chris é de língua presa em volta do seu — tudo que sai da sua boca é vulgar ou indecifrável. Portanto ele pede a Charlie a ajuda. Charlie, inspirada, escreve 3 cartas de amor por dia a Roxanne, sem conhecimento de Chris. O trabalho de cartas eloqüente de Charlie, porque Roxanne cai no amor com Chris. Mas Chris não pode satisfazer expectativas de Roxanne na pessoa e ele logo foge com uma garçonete que é “bastante atraente, também”.
