The Intern tells the story of a widower named, Ben Whittaker(Robert De Niro). Apart from being a widower, Ben is also retired. One day, while going about his mundane everyday routine, he comes across a flyer. This flyer says, an up and coming online fashion website is doing a senior internship program & is looking for senior interns with years of work experience. The fashion website is founded & run by, Jules Ostin(Anne Hathaway). Ben seizes this golden opportunity to get back in the game. Ben spreads a positive attitude among his colleagues & his positive outlook, also rubs off on the usually uptight Jules.
