The R.M. is a 2003 comedy film about the experiences of an LDS returned missionary. "RM" is an LDS initialism for "returned missionary." It was written by Kurt Hale and John E. Moyer and directed by Kurt Hale. The RM is very LDS-centric and generally meant to appeal to an LDS audience. Many non-LDS viewers may not understand the numerous references and satires of the LDS—and Utah—sub-culture. Jared Phelps returns home from his mission in Wyoming to find a world very different from the one he left two years ago. This movie opens with a send-off at the airport full of family and... friends of Elder Phelps. He serves a two year mission in the Wyoming, Evanston South Mission. The opening credits are shown by using instant photographs. They also show Elder Phelps going from a greenie , to district leader, to zone leader and finally to an assistant to the mission president. Upon returning home, things don't go so well. His parents thought that he was coming home the following month, so no one is there to meet him at the airport.
