With ''[[Nothing in Common]]'' (1986)—a story of a young man alienated from his father ([[Jackie Gleason]])—Hanks began to extend himself from comedic roles to dramatic. In an interview with ''Rolling Stone'', Hanks commented on his experience: "It changed my desires about working in movies. Part of it was the nature of the material, what we were trying to say. But besides that, it focused on people's relationships. The story was about a guy and his father, unlike, say, ''[[The Money Pit]]'', where the story is really about a guy and his house."<ref>{{cite book|title = Encyclopedia of American Cinema|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=zlSRS80XIfQC&q=money+pit+Part+of+it+was+the+nature+of+the+material%2C+what+we+were+trying+to+say.+But+besides+that%2C+it+focused+on+people%27s+relationships.+The+story+was+about+a+guy+and+his+father%2C+unlike%2C+say%2C+The+Money+Pit%2C+where+the+story+is+really+about+a+guy+and+his+house&pg=PT1033|isbn = 9781605011455|author1 = Mobilereference|date = December 15, 2009| publisher=MobileReference }}{{Dead link|date=May 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In 1987, he had signed an agreement with [[Walt Disney Studios (division)|The Walt Disney Studios]] where he had starred to a talent pool in an acting/producing pact.<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 15, 1987 |title=Hanks Joins Growing Disney Talent Pool Via Acting/Producing Pact |pages=5, 28 |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref> After a few more flops and a moderate success with the comedy ''[[Dragnet (1987 film)|Dragnet]]'' (1987), Hanks' stature in the film industry rose.

=== 1990–1999: Leading man and acclaim ===
Hanks climbed back to the top again with his portrayal of a washed-up baseball legend turned manager in [[Penny Marshall]]'s ''[[A League of Their Own]]'' (1992).<ref name="tca" /> Hanks has said that his acting in earlier roles had not been great, but that he later improved. In an interview with ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'', Hanks called attention to what he called his "modern era of moviemaking&nbsp;... because enough self-discovery has gone on&nbsp;... My work has become less pretentiously fake and over the top". This "modern era" began in 1993 for Hanks, first with [[Nora Ephron]]'s ''[[Sleepless in Seattle]]'' and then with [[Jonathan Demme]]'s ''[[Philadelphia (film)|Philadelphia]]''.

''Sleepless in Seattle'' is a romantic comedy about a widower who finds true love over the radio airwaves.

Hanks then executive produced, co-wrote and co-directed the [[HBO]] docudrama ''[[From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)|From the Earth to the Moon]]'' (1998). The 12-part series chronicled the space program from its inception, through the familiar flights of [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Jim Lovell]], to the personal feelings surrounding the reality of Moon landings.

[[File:Tom Hanks - footprint.JPG|thumb|right|Hanks' cement prints in front of the [[TCL Chinese Theatre|Grauman's Chinese Theatre]] in Hollywood]]
[[Roger Ebert]] wrote "of actors who are not 'bigger than life,' but somehow just like life—people who we feel we know and understand, and are comfortable with. We sense that these actors embody not our fantasies, but our lives. Watching them we feel congratulated, because we are watching ourselves. They reassure us that in our ordinariness we also have a kind of importance. The actors who can do that—[[Buster Keaton]], [[Spencer Tracy]], [[James Stewart]], [[Henry Fonda]], [[Robert Duvall]], [[Gene Hackman]], and Tom Hanks, occupy a special category... The central triumph of Tom Hanks as a movie actor is that, most of the time, we believe he thinks a lot like us, and does more or less what we would do, but that he somehow does it on a larger or more ennobling scale. It is the James Stewart quality. But few actors can obtain it; with most, you see their egos peeking through, or you catch them trying too hard. The camera is a lie detector, and Hanks must be a fundamentally good person to play such roles—either that, or he is an even better actor than we think."<ref>{{cite book| author=Roger Ebert| title=Awake in the Dark: The Best of Roger Ebert| date=2006| page=86}}</ref>
