Martin's Day

A brief adventure that will change them forever.

6.2(11)19851h 38m1

Threatened with recapture after a prison escape, Martin Stechert grabs a 12-year-old as hostage. He proves to be named Martin, too a quiet "good little boy" always obeying the rules, whom life has given only dismal loneliness and frustration in return. Soon he begins to admire "Stech" for his cheeky pranks against society and his desperate mission to make dreams come true. In a climactic moment, he chooses to stay with the man even though he could run away. Via hijacks and hijinx, they flee to the idyllic peace of the older Martin's childhood home, a cabin on a lake. But the police are close behind, impatient and trigger-happy.

    This is one of those movies which captures the very essence of the relationship between boys and men, and perhaps as a result is also one of those movies which you can’t find anywhere, at any price.
