About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
When maladjusted orphan Jesse vandalizes a theme park, he is placed with foster parents and must work at the park to make amends. There he meets Willy, a young Orca whale who has been separated from his family. Sensing kinship, they form a bond and, with the help of kindly whale trainer Rae Lindley, develop a routine of tricks. However, greedy park owner Dial soon catches wind of the duo and makes plans to profit from them.
A lonely boy finds an unexpected kindred spirit in a captive orca trapped behind concrete walls. This heartfelt bond sparks a desperate mission to break the whale free from his artificial prison.
