Oscar winner Jodie Foster (Contact) is a "natural-born scene stealer" (Los Angeles Times) as Becky Thatcher in this Oscar-nominated musical adaptation of Mark Twain's classic novel starring redheaded mop-top Johnny Whitaker (Family Affair) as the rascally Tom Sawyer. "A genuine pleasure" (Reader's Digest), this charming family film co-stars Oscar winner Celeste Holm (Three Men and a Baby) as tough-loving Aunt Polly.

A mischievous orphan with a knack for tall tales, Tom lives with his exasperated aunt in the riverfront town of Hannibal, Missouri. Along with his rag-tag best friend Huckleberry Finn (Jeff East) and his fetching sweetheart Becky Thatcher, Tom's life is a series of clever and irrepressible adventures. But when he and Huck witness a crime, Tom must decide if he will risk his life to exonerate the town bum Muff Potter (Warren Oates).
