Arrogant collectibles dealer Charlie Babbitt is in the middle of importing four [[Grey import vehicle|grey market]] [[Lamborghini]]s to [[Los Angeles]] for resale. He needs to deliver the cars to impatient buyers who have already made down payments to repay the loan he took out to buy them, but the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] is holding the cars at the port because they have failed [[Vehicle emission standard|emission tests]]. Charlie directs an employee to lie to the buyers while he stalls his creditor.

When Charlie learns that his estranged father Sanford Babbitt has died, he and his girlfriend Susanna travel to [[Cincinnati]] to settle the estate. He inherits only a group of rosebushes and a classic 1949 [[Buick Roadmaster#1949–1953|Buick Roadmaster]] convertible over which he and Sanford had clashed, while the remainder of the $3 million estate is going to an unnamed [[trustee]]. He learns that the money is being directed to a local [[Psychiatric hospital|mental institution]], where he meets his elder brother Raymond, of whom he was unaware.

Raymond is an [[Autism|autistic]] [[savant syndrome|savant]] and adheres to strict routines. He has [[Eidetic memory|superb recall]], but he shows little emotional expression, except when in distress. Charlie spirits Raymond out of the mental institution and into a hotel for the night. Disheartened with the way Charlie treats Raymond, Susanna leaves him. Charlie asks Raymond's doctor, Dr. Gerald Bruner, for half the estate in exchange for Raymond's return, but Bruner refuses. Charlie decides to attempt to gain custody of his brother to get control of the money.

After Raymond [[Fear of flying|refuses to fly]] to Los Angeles, he and Charlie resort to driving there instead. They make slow progress because Raymond insists on sticking to his routines, which include watching ''[[The People's Court]]'' on television every day, getting to bed by 11:00&nbsp;p.m., and refusing to travel when it rains. He also objects to traveling on the [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate]] after they encounter a car accident.

During the course of the journey, Charlie learns more about Raymond, including his ability to instantly [[mental calculator|perform complex calculations]] and [[Subitizing|count hundreds of objects at once]], far beyond the typical range of human abilities. He also realizes that Raymond had lived with the family as a child and was the "Rain Man" (Charlie's infantile pronunciation of "Raymond"), a comforting figure Charlie had remembered as an imaginary friend. Raymond had saved an infant Charlie from being scalded by hot bathwater one day, but Sanford blamed Raymond for nearly injuring Charlie, and committed him to the institution, as he was unable to speak up for himself and correct the misunderstanding.

Charlie's creditor [[repossession|repossesses]] the Lamborghinis, forcing him to refund his buyers' down payments and leaving him deeply in debt. Having passed [[Las Vegas]], he and Raymond return to [[Caesars Palace]] and devise a plan to win the needed money by playing [[blackjack]] and [[card counting|counting cards]]. Although the casino bosses obtain videotape evidence of the scheme and ask them to leave, Charlie successfully wins $86,000 to cover his debts. He also reconciles with Susanna, who has rejoined the brothers in Las Vegas.

Returning to Los Angeles, Charlie meets with Bruner, who offers him $250,000 to walk away from Raymond. Charlie refuses, saying he is no longer upset about being cut out of his father's will, but he wants to have a relationship with his brother. At a meeting with a court-appointed psychiatrist, Raymond proves to be [[Conservatorship|unable to decide for himself what he wants]]. Charlie stops the questioning and tells Raymond he is happy to have him as his brother. As Raymond and Bruner board a train to return to the institution, Charlie promises to visit in two weeks.
