Included in the ensemble cast of today's brightest young talents are Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz, Billy Zane, Sean Astin, and jazz singer/musician Harry Connick, Jr. in his film debut. Also starring is two-time Oscar-nominee and Golden Globe and Emmy-winner John Lithgow. Featuring a beautiful score by George Fenton, Rex Reed calls this "thrilling!...it will make you cheer" and Sneak Previews calls it "...heart stopping...an unforgettable experience. One of the year's best!
