Charlie's brother, Sam, dies in a car crash that Charlie survives. Charlie is given the gift of seeing his dead brother and others who he has lost such as his friend who died in the military, but when the girl he falls in love with's life is at risk, he must choose between his girlfriend and his brother.
Zac Efron dropped out of his role in Footloose (2011) and signed on to play Charlie St. Cloud shortly thereafter. He confirmed his involvement while attending the 2009 Kid's Choice Awards.
Sam St. Cloud:
I'm okay, Charlie. I'd give anything for you to see me, what I've become, but no one ever gets to see what could have been.
Charlie St. Cloud:
Sorry I had to break our deal.
Sam St. Cloud:
It was time. I mean, it's beyond anything we ever imagined, Charlie.
Charlie St. Cloud:
I hurt as bad as the day ...
At 1:00:21 when Charlie tells Tess "I just can't," both his arms have been up, grasping poles, but when the camera changes, his right arm is down.
