Plot Synopsis
Storyline
When sheriff Barnum investigates the death of an elderly rural resident, he discovers a teenage grandson living in the basement. Raised by his grandparents, he has experienced the world only through books, never leaving the family farm. He is sent to a state home for boys where he has trouble fitting in socially. His odd appearance and unusual abilities cause the small town residents to fear and ridicule him. However, not all are afraid. Some begin to view his potential and gifts with wonderment. Written by Robert B. Young <youngb@tastemaker.com>

This is one of those films that you always remember seeing the previews but never got around to seeing it. Powder is under rated as well as mislabeled.
The story is very unique. Powder, a completely bald albino was struck by lightning while in his mothers womb and now posseses electrical powers. Having been raised by his grandparents, he was hidden from the outside world until they pass away. He now is sent to a state orphanage and must deal with making friends and fitting in.
The acting is great with Sean Patrick Flannery in the title role and wonderful supporting performances by Jeff Goldblum, Lance Henrikson and Mary Steenburgen. Often people do not understand the movie because they are not satisfied by the acting and the story. Powder is a wonderful and touching movie that everyone should experience.
