Fierce People

Film Description

When 16-year-old Finn Earl (Anton Yelchin) ends up spending his summer at the massive estate of the wealthy and powerful Ogden C. Osborne (Donald Sutherland), he falls in with Osborne's spoiled-rotten grandchildren, including Bryce (Chris Evans) and Maya (Kristen Stewart). Despite the fun Finn's having--getting involved in drinking, smoking pot, and experimenting with sex--he identifies more with the maid, Jilly (Paz de la Huerta), than with the rich kids. And when he gets taken under Osborne's wing, danger lurks as family secrets start rising to the surface.

Based on the book by Dirk Wittenborn, who also wrote the screenplay, Fierce People is a bittersweet look at classism in the United States, set in 1980 but relevant to the separation between the rich and the poor in any era.
