Plot Summary:A young cancer patient neglected by his father befriends an elderly Shop owner (Harold Gould) with family troubles of his own. The cowboy-obsessed boy calls himself Butch and his older friend Sundance. When the man loses his store and faces the prospect of life in a nursing home, the pair decide to play out their Wild West fantasies and leave Cleveland for Wyoming in a backfiring rattletrap of a vintage car. The first half-hour of this 87-minute movie is dominated by conflict before they run away. But even after their adventure begins, the serious theme of dealing with death is prominent. The pair thwart a robbery, sleep in a graveyard, play cards in a saloon, and even make it to Hole in the Wall before Butchs father tracks him down and the two reconcile. But even as father, son, and sons friend joyfully escape from imaginary bad guys, this film shuns a glossed-over ending, leaving it clear that the boys ultimate fate hasnt changed. (Ages 7 and older)
