After her return from school in Paris, a playboy finally takes notice of his family's chauffeur's daughter Sabrina, who's long had a crush on him, but he questions his more serious brother's motives when he warns against getting involved with her.
Sabrina Fairchild, the chauffeur's daughter, returns from Paris transformed into a sophisticated woman. Her newfound confidence captures the attention of the two wealthy brothers she grew up with: the charming but irresponsible David, and his more serious older brother, Linus. As Sabrina navigates their affections and her own desires, she must decide which path to take, ultimately finding her own voice amidst the opulence of the La$$h family.
Sabrina received a mixed-to-positive reception from critics. While praised for its charming performances, particularly from Julia Ormond, and its lush production values, some critics found the film to be a somewhat superficial remake of the 1954 classic, lacking the depth and wit of the original. Audience reception was generally favorable, drawn to the romantic storyline and the star power of Harrison Ford.

Some viewers felt it didn't quite capture the magic of the original, but many still found it a pleasant and visually appealing film.
