Powder is a 1995 American science fiction drama film written and directed by Victor Salva. It stars Mary Steenburgen, Sean Patrick Flanery, Lance Henriksen, and Jeff Goldblum. Flanery plays the title character, a young albino man with an incredible intellect and supernatural powers.
The film was produced by Walt Disney Studios through its Hollywood Pictures label. Filming took place in Texas around suburbs of Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, Texas. The production was controversial due to Salva's prior conviction for child sex abuse, which prompted a boycott against the film led by his victim.
Powder was released October 27, 1995. It received mixed reviews, but was a commercial success, grossing $30.9 million on a $9.5 million budget.
