- Synopsis:
- Three and one-half tons of best friend: family adventure doesn't get any bigger! Willy is an orca whale confined in a Pacific Northwest aquatic park's too-small tank and separated from his family in the nearby bay. No one understands Will's moods - except a 12-year-old boy who knows what it's like to be without a family. That boy is scruffy street kid Jesse (Jason James Richter), who befriends Willy and risks all to set him free. Critics called Free Willy irresistible. You'll love the film's biggest star: Keiko, the remarkable orca from a Mexico City park who (with back-up from a full-sized animatronic whale) plays Willy.
