Witness Protection (1999)

In the heart of Boston's underworld, seasoned mobster Bobby "Bats" Batton narrowly escapes a lethal encounter with a hitman, a chilling consequence of a false accusation of embezzlement against his ruthless boss. Cornered and desperate, Bobby turns to the unlikeliest of allies, FBI chief Sharp, trading his knowledge of the mob's secrets for the safety of his family - his wife Cindy, Harvard-aspiring son Sean, and the innocent young Suzie. In an unprecedented deal, the Battons are promised new identities and a fresh start in the distant city of Seattle. They find themselves thrust into an intense week of transformation under the stern guidance of federal agent Steven Beck. Stripped of their past and devoid of professional qualifications, they grapple with this daunting reinvention, while the spectre of their former lives looms over them. Their journey into anonymity is fraught with tension and emotional turmoil. Cindy is shocked to learn of their impending poverty, Bobby battles with the mystery of betrayal, Sean contemplates returning to the danger-ridden streets of Boston, and Suzie struggles with the traumatic uprooting. Each family member must navigate their own internal conflict as they strive to adapt to their new lives. Can they reconcile their past with their future and emerge from the ashes of their old identities? Or will the spectre of their former lives prove too powerful to escape? Witness Protection is a thrilling exploration of survival, family, and the lengths one man will go to protect those he loves.
