The Intern is a 2015 American comedy-drama written and directed by Nancy Meyers. Robert De Niro stars as Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old retired widower who becomes a senior intern at About The Fit, an e-commerce fashion startup in Brooklyn founded and led by the driven, overwhelmed Jules Ostin, played by Anne Hathaway. The intergenerational odd-couple dynamic between the old-school, impeccably mannered Ben and the modern, smartphone-addicted startup culture provides both comedy and warmth as Ben's quiet competence and emotional wisdom gradually make him indispensable.

Robert De Niro's gentle, twinkling performance was a deliberate departure from the intense roles that defined his career, demonstrating his rarely deployed comedic charm. Nancy Meyers's direction, as always, featured immaculate interior design that made every set feel aspirationally inviting. The film earned $194 million worldwide on a $35 million budget.
