Kramer vs. Kramer is a 1979 American legal drama film written and directed by Robert Benton, based on Avery Corman's 1977 novel of the same name. The film stars Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander and Justin Henry. It tells the story of a couple's divorce, its impact on their young son, and the subsequent evolution of their relationship and views on parenting.
Kramer vs. Kramer explores the psychology and fallout of divorce, and touches on prevailing or emerging social issues, such as gender roles, fathers' rights, work-life balance, and single parents.
Kramer vs. Kramer was theatrically released December 19, 1979, by Columbia Pictures. It was a major critical and commercial success, grossing more than $173 million on an $8 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1979 in the United States and Canada, and receiving a leading nine nominations at the 52nd Academy Awards, winning a leading five awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Hoffman), Best Supporting Actress (for Streep), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
