三姐弟在一场大火中失去了父母，狂医继承了父母留下的一大笔遗产。因为年龄尚小，狂医只能到了法定年龄才能动用这笔钱。于是，三姐弟被暂时带到远房亲戚奥拉夫（金·凯瑞 Jim Carrey饰）家，由奥拉夫来抚养。姐姐维奥莱特（艾米莉·布朗宁 Emily Browning饰）是个善于发明创作的小精灵，弟弟克劳斯则博闻强识，是个地道的小博士。最小的孩子有一口锋利的牙齿，呀呀说些姐姐哥哥才能听得懂的话。这次三姐弟却落进了奥拉夫的圈套里，被这个贪婪的亲戚盯上了那笔遗产。他们一次次陷入险境，看来奥拉夫非把他们害死不可。于是，他们逃到了做生物学家的叔叔家里，然而这里却满是蛇类动物，颇为惊悚。更不妙的是，奥拉夫像摆脱不掉的影子跟随而至。三个孩子继续出逃，在发现姑妈家也不是去处时，他们决定自力更生，跟邪恶的奥拉夫周旋到底。

回复 :Diz (Joel Courtney) is a reckless teenage drifter living life on the run. Abandoned by his parents as a child, he looks out for himself and doesn't accept handouts. He takes whatever he wants and runs. Jaded and determined to answer to no one, Diz lives a life marked by thievery and abandonment. Things change for Diz when he floats into a small town on the Snake River. There he is confronted by an unflappable old man named Marty and falls for Marty's guarded granddaughter, Selah. When Diz robs a local drug-dealing crazy, he becomes the owner of a giant pile of cash and the target of two vicious killers. With more money than he knows what to do with, and criminals at his heels, Diz puts the people he's learned to care about in danger, still trying to win Selah. But some things can't be stolen or bought. The River Thief is a film about guilt, self-sacrifice, and accepting life as a gift.

回复 :探讨了哈里斯、考德利和惠特默是如何被称为“三个目击者”的，以及他们如何在生命的最后日子里，即使面对暴徒的威胁、嘲笑和朋友及家人的背叛，也为自己的证词辩护。
