Based on the novel by Wilson Rawls

Where the Red Fern Grows is, quite simply, a wonderful story for all ages and for all time. A boy's yearning for two red-bone coon hounds, which his parents couldn't afford during the desolate times of The Depression in the Ozarks, is the setting for this truly triumphant film. Billy's grandfather promises the lad that God will meet him halfway if he believes in himself and his beloved dogs. Billy faces adventure, suspense, and tradedy - and, untimately, a love and loyalty of family and friendship - to realize his dream. The outcome makes for the kind of heart-warming story that great family films are all about.
