What happens

Far Harbor is an American independent drama film written and directed by John Huddles (in his directing debut) and starring Edward Atterton, Jennifer Connelly, Dan Futterman, Marcia Gay Harden, Andrew Lauren, George Newbern, Tracee Ellis Ross and Jim True-Frost. It follows a group of seven young people who spend a weekend in the home of a wealthy yuppie on Long Island. Originally titled Mr. Spielberg's Boat, the title was changed after Steven Spielberg refused permission to use his name. The movie was the screen debut of model-turned-actress Tracee Ellis Ross. The Castle Hill Productions film was premiered on November 22, 1996. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
