About S.F.W.
An alienated and misanthropic teenager gains sudden and unwanted celebrity status after he's taken hostage by terrorists where his indifference to their threats to kill him makes news headlines.
Directed by Jefery Levy, S.F.W. leans on a strong ensemble — Stephen Dorff, Reese Witherspoon, Jake Busey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1995.
