Review

USA Today, 07/11/1997, p.3D, "...The movie's ace is journalistic camera work that beautifully captures a specific time and place..."

Title Note

THE LITTLE FUGITIVE was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1997.

Distributor Note

Widely regarded as one of the most influential and enjoyable films of the American independent cinema, Little Fugitive is an utterly charming fable that poetically captures the joys and wonders of childhood.

When a seven-year-old boy (Richie Andrusco) is tricked into believing he killed his older brother, he gathers his meager possessions and flees to New York's nether wonderland: Coney Island. Upon and beneath the crowded boardwalk, Joey experiences a day and night filled with adventures and mysteries, resulting in a film that is refreshingly spontaneous and thoroughly delightful.

Hailed by critics as a groundbreaking cinematic feat, Little Fugitive won the Silver Lion award at the Venice Film Festival, played in nearly 5,000 theaters in the U.S., and is now recognized as a classic of American independent film.
