I do not own the copyright of the this film.

The film is quite different than the short story version. Thematically, it captures some of the important elements of Kurt Vonnegut's short story; mostly, however, it is its own piece.

Here is the Wikipedia entry on the film:
Harrison Bergeron is a 1995 cable science fiction television movie film loosely adapted from Kurt Vonnegut's 1961 dystopian short story of the same name. It was produced for Showtime and first screened on August 13, 1995. It was released to VHS in 1998.[1]

In addition to Sean Astin, notable cast members include:

Eugene Levy as President McCloskey
Howie Mandel as Charlie (of 'Chat with Charlie')
Christopher Plummer as John Klaxon
Nigel Bennett as Dr. Eisenstock
Emmanuelle Chriqui as Jeannie
Hayden Christensen as Eric
