The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
ActionAdventureComedyDramaFamilyRomance91 min
Tom Sawyer turns life along the Mississippi River into a string of escapades, slipping free of adult rules, running off with his friend Huckleberry Finn, and stumbling into dangerous trouble after the boys witness a murder. Tommy Kelly is Tom, full of swagger and mischief, while Jackie Moran’s Huck brings the same unruly streak to their pirate games and riverbank adventures. Drawn from Mark Twain’s classic, the film follows Tom from boyhood pranks and make-believe to the moment those games brush up against fear, guilt, and the hard edge of the grown-up world.
