The Ice Storm is a 1997 drama film by Ang Lee, it is based on the 1994 acclaimed novel by Rick Moody, The Ice Storm.
Set during Thanksgiving, 1973, The Ice Storm tells of two suburban Connecticut families, the Hoods and the Carvers, and the difficulties they have dealing with the tumultuous political and social climate of the day. The story focuses on a brief period of time when a major ice storm hits their town of New Canaan, just as both families are melting down from the parents' alcoholism, escapism and adultery, and their children's sexual experimentation.
Despite the film opening to widespread acclaim in the
United States on
September 27,
1997, its release was limited and it grossed just
$7.8 million on a budget of $18 million, making it a box office disappointment.
The film has had somewhat of a lasting effect on pop culture with its "key party" scene, parodied in a fairly prominent UK car advert in recent years. It has also enjoyed increasing popularity thanks to the highly successful career of director Ang Lee.
