Desert Blue is a 1998 American comedy/drama film directed by Morgan J. Freeman and starring Brendan Sexton, Kate Hudson, Ethan Suplee, Christina Ricci, Casey Affleck, Peter Sarsgaard, Lee Frederick Holmes, Sara Gilbert, and John Heard.
The story centers on a rising Hollywood starlet (Hudson) who becomes "marooned" in a small desert town while on a roadtrip with her father. There, she gets to know the town's rather eccentric residents, including one (Ricci) whose hobby is pipe bombs and another (Sexton) who is trying to carry out his father's dream of building a waterpark in the desert.
