1. Rainman
Still Charlie felt as if he had been cheated out of his inheritance. He felt as if he should receive half of the money in the estate. .
To get the money he thought he should have, Charlie decided to take Raymond home with him. He removed Raymond from the institution where he had lived for many years and they started for California. It was revealed during the trip that as a toddler, Charlie had called his brother "Rainman" because he could not say "Raymond". Another discovery was how adept Raymond was at counting cards while they were being shuffled. Because of Raymond skill, Charlie decided to stop in Reno, Nevada, and play cards.

For example, they had to travel by car on secondary roads because Raymond was afraid of planes, trains, and freeways. He knew all the safety statistics of each. Another example was when Raymond got out of the car when it was stopped in traffic and walked to the next exit on the freeway because the road was too dangerous.
