What happens

House of Cards is a 1993 American drama film co-written and directed by Michael Lessac and starring Kathleen Turner and Tommy Lee Jones. It follows the struggle of a mother to reconnect with her daughter who has been traumatized by the death of her father. The film was completed in 1991 by A&M Films, but was delayed for release. It finally premiered at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival, where it was acquired by Miramax Films for theatrical distribution that June. This would be the last film Miramax released as an independent company before being purchased by The Walt Disney Company just five days after this film's wide release in the United States. Disney would distribute Miramax's films from Benefit of the Doubt on July 16, 1993 to The Switch on August 20, 2010, before selling Miramax to Filmyard Holdings on December 3, 2010.
