Powder is a 1995 American science fiction drama film[1] written and directed by Victor Salva and starring Sean Patrick Flanery in the title role, with Jeff Goldblum, Mary Steenburgen, Lance Henriksen, and Bradford Tatum in supporting roles.
The film is about Jeremy "Powder" Reed, who has an incredible intellect, as well as telepathy and paranormal powers like controlling lightning and magnetism. It questions the limits of the human mind and body while also displaying society's capacity for cruelty, and raises hope that humanity will advance to a state of better understanding. Its filming locations were around suburbs of Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, Texas.
The film was a financial success, but critical reviews were mixed and the film's release was dogged with controversy due to Salva's prior conviction for child sex abuse.
