The Intern is a 2015 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Nancy Meyers. The story follows Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower, played by Robert De Niro, who becomes a senior intern at an online fashion retailer founded and run by Jules Ostin, portrayed by Anne Hathaway. Despite initial skepticism about an older person joining a fast-paced startup, Ben quickly proves to be reliable, wise, and empathetic. The film explores themes of ageism, work-life balance, mentorship, and the challenges of modern workplaces. With its warm tone, light humor, and heartfelt performances, The Intern was well-received by audiences and praised for tackling societal issues, including age-related stereotypes.
