ActionAdventureDramaFamily112 min
After he vandalizes an aquatic theme park, orphaned teenager Jesse is sent there to work off the damage and ends up drawn to its biggest attraction: a captive orca named Willy. Jason James Richter is Jesse, a guarded kid who recognizes his own loneliness in the whale, while Lori Petty's trainer Rae Lindley becomes an ally as the pair build a routine together. As Jesse adjusts uneasily to foster parents and life under supervision, the park's owner starts looking at Willy less as an animal than as a moneymaker, putting pressure on the bond that has formed between them.
