Not ready to give up on his childhood fantasies of wealth and adventure, Tom forms the "Band of Robbers," recruiting their misfit friends Joe Harper and Ben Rogers, to join them for an elaborate plan to find a fabled treasure.

I want to keep this brief because this movie should just be seen and
experienced.
The performances are great from the entire cast, especially from co-
writer and co-director Adam Nee as Tom Sawyer. The story is
original,funny and unexpected while still playing homage to the classic
tale in its own way.
The movie is shot beautifully and with style. Using bright colours and
interesting props to really hold the tone.
I was lucky enough to catch this at CIFF and I'm excited to get a
second viewing whenever it gets distribution.
