About Home at Last
Billy, a streetwise kid from New York City, is sent to Nebraska and is taken in by a Swedish farm family, the Andersons. Initially fearful and resentful, Billy doesn’t fit in, and he clashes with his new family and adoptive father (Frank Converse). Not until a terrible crisis occurs does Billy realize that, for the first time in his life, he truly belongs and is Home At Last.
Directed by David DeVries, Home at Last leans on a strong ensemble — Adrien Brody, Joel Savani, Tom Wees — 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 family titles of 1988.
