Safe Harbour is a 2007 drama film directed by Bill Corcoran and starring Melissa Gilbert, Brad Johnson, Liana Liberato, and Rebecca Staab. The movie starts with a beautiful scene of a boat leaving a harbor with the sun setting in the background. The setting seems tranquil, but the story of the movie is far from that. Melissa Gilbert plays Ophelia MacKenzie, a wealthy businesswoman who goes on a sailing vacation with her second husband and her 10-year-old daughter, Pip (Liana Liberato). During their trip, they rescue a man (Brad Johnson) who was thrown overboard from a fishing boat by his drunken crewmates. The man, named Neely (Brad Johnson), is a battered and bruised mess when the MacKenzies find him, but they take him on board and give him medical help.

The MacKenzies soon learn that Neely is wanted by the police for allegedly murdering his wife. However, Ophelia, who has a big heart and feels sorry for Neely, decides to harbor him and offer him refuge. Ophelia's husband, James (Rebecca Staab), is against the idea and thinks it's foolish to put their family at risk for a man they don't know. But Ophelia's compassion for Neely is stronger, and she convinces her husband to keep Neely's presence on their boat a secret.

As the MacKenzies and Neely continue their voyage, tensions rise as they learn more about Neely's past and his relationship with his wife. The police start to close in on them, and the family has to decide whether to hand Neely over or risk everything to try to clear his name.

The story of Safe Harbour explores the moral dilemma of doing what's right versus doing what's legal. The MacKenzies' decision to harbor Neely puts their family in danger, and they struggle with whether their actions are justified. Meanwhile, Neely faces his own internal struggle about whether he's done enough to clear his name.

The movie highlights the beautiful scenery of the ocean, and the shots of the sailboat at sea are stunning. The characters are well-developed, and the actors deliver strong performances, especially Melissa Gilbert as Ophelia. Liana Liberato's performance is remarkable for such a young actress, and she proves herself as a rising talent in the industry.

Overall, Safe Harbour is a well-made drama that explores complex themes and features strong performances. It's a thought-provoking movie that will keep viewers engaged until the end. It's a recommended movie for anyone who enjoys a good drama and wants a story to sink their teeth into.

Safe Harbour is a 2007 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 43 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4.
