Mark Twain’s 19th Century American classics spring to life as two of literature’s most beloved characters join forces for the adventure of a lifetime along the mighty Mississippi river. As re-told by the great writer himself, Mark Twain (Val Kilmer, Willow) – young Tom Sawyer (Joel Courtney, Super 8 ) and his friend Huckleberry Finn (Jake T. Austin, Wizards of Waverly Place) are destined to experience an action-packed journey of peril and treasures beyond their wildest dreams. Living with his Aunt Polly (Kristine Kaufman, Town Without Pity), Tom Sawyer is a boy in search of something more to occupy his time. Finding friendship in the carefree and homeless Huck Finn, together they enjoy a pastime of escapism and leisurely pursuits. But when the boys witness a murder in the graveyard one moonlit night they flee to a nearby Island and decide to make a pact never to tell anyone about the incident. With an innocent man accused for the crime and the boys fearing for their own safety, it will require more than a little courage to face the nefarious Injun Joe and live to tell the tale.
