Radio Flyer

Lorraine Bracco, John Heard and Oscar winner Ben Johnson (Best Supporting Actor, The Last PictureShow) star in this moving story of a family torn apart by violence - and healed by imagination. Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazzello co-star as Bracco's two young sons, devoted brothers who escape their chaotic family life with dreams of flying. Inspired by a local legend, they attempt to build a working airplane. And in the process of transforming their ordinary red wagon into a fantastical flying machine, they transform their own lives into an extraordinary adventure. A beautifully-made movie filled with all the heartache and joy of childhood, Radio Flyer is daring, amazing, and wonderful.A deeply moving film. (Dennis Cunningham, WCBS-TV)
