Cry In The Wild, A

VHS, PG, 93 minutes, NEW HORIZONS / NEW C

Exhausted, young Brian Robeson pulls himself from a remote Canadian lake. The tiny plane he managed to steer this far lies under the icy water, its pilot felled by a heart attack. Somehow, Brian has survived. But gazing at the vast forest, he can't help wonder for how long. Jared Rushton ("Big" and "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids") plays Brian, who must make the wilderness his home. Equipped with nothing more than a hatchet and his ingenuity, he must learn to survive. Based on Gary Paulsen's Newbery Award-winning novel "Hatchet" and the recipient of several awards, "A Cry in the Wild" is family adventure at it's most glorious and inspiring. With excellent support from Ned Beatty and Pamela Sue Martin, "A Cry in the Wild" towers like its majestic setting - and like the indomitable will of its courageous young here.
