Groundhog Day is a 1993 American fantasy comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Danny Rubin. It follows Phil Connors, a cynical television weatherman played by Bill Murray, who is sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and finds himself trapped reliving the same day repeatedly until he changes his own character and choices. Its central premise proved so culturally resonant that the phrase groundhog day entered common English usage to describe a repeating, seemingly inescapable situation.
