Powder is a 1995 film directed by Victor Salva, about a boy, nicknamed "Powder," with incredible intellect, telepathy, and paranormal powers. It stars Sean Patrick Flanery in the title role, with Jeff Goldblum, Mary Steenburgen, Bradford Tatum, Lance Henriksen, and Brandon Smith in supporting roles. The film questions the limits of the human mind and body while also displaying our capacity for cruelty; it raises hope that humanity will advance to a state of better understanding.
Since its release, the film has grossed approximately $31 million worldwide.
Jeremy Reed (Sean Patrick Flanery), whose nickname is Powder, is an albino who has incredible intellect and is able to sense the thoughts of the people around him. Jeremy's brain possesses a powerful electromagnetic charge, which causes electrical objects to function abnormally when he is around them, as well as when he becomes emotional. The electrical charge also prevents hair from growing on his body. Jeremy's mother was struck by lightning while pregnant with him; she died shortly after the strike, but Jeremy survived. His father disowned him shortly after his premature birth, and he was raised by his grandparents. Jeremy lived in the basement and worked on their farm but never left their property, learning everything he knew from books. He is taken from his home when his grandfather is found dead of natural causes. Jessie Caldwell (Mary Steenburgen), a child services psychologist called in by Sheriff Doug Barnum (Lance Henriksen), takes him to a boy's home because he is now effectively a ward of the state.

Plot: Boozy, brassy Apple Annie, a beggar with a basket of apples, is as much as part of downtown New York as old Broadway itself. Bootlegger Dave the Dude is a sucker for her apples --- he thinks they bring him luck. But Dave and girlfriend Queenie Martin need a lot more than luck when it turns out that Annie is in a jam and only they can help: Annie's daughter Louise, who has lived all her life in a Spanish convent, is coming to America with a Count and his son. The count's son wants to marry Louise, who thinks her mother is part of New York society. It's up to Dave and Queenie and their Runyonesque cronies to turn Annie into a lady and convince the Count and his son that they are hobnobbing with New York's elite.

Your knuckles white, you try to fight
The need for more to get you by
You've had enough you wonder why
Even now your body cries
For chemicals to blind your eyes
Wonder can you stay this high
When the cells begin to die
Forever, forever, forever
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Swallowed like the medicine
That's broken down my happy friend
Wonder if he'll let me in
If I come to see him when he's better
He's better, he's better... now
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
There's power
In the powder
Dissolving in your guts
There's power
In the powder
Dissolving in your guts
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
I'm falling (crush it up, crush it up)
I'm falling (take it down, take it down)
I'm falling (smash it up, smash it up)
I'm falling down
I'm falling (crush it up, crush it up)
I'm falling (take it down, take it down)
I'm falling (smash it up, smash it up)
I'm falling down
I'm falling
I'm falling
