Run Tiger Run

dir. John Woo · 1985

Friendship and loyalty can empower individuals to overcome challenges and fight against injustice.

"Run Tiger Run" is a delightful romp through the wild adventures of childhood, where humor meets heart in a story about unlikely friendships and whimsical rescues. Join Teddy and his gang as they navigate the challenges of class disparity with comedic flair and youthful exuberance.

Homeless lads Teddy and Benny befriend a rich boy, heir to his grandfather's massive fortune. His uncle mistakes all of them for his nephews and, plotting to steal the inheritance for himself, abducts Benny. Teddy teams up with his friends and an assassin to pull off a rescue mission.

Talking points
  • the importance of friendship
  • class differences among children
  • the absurdity of childhood logic
  • rescue missions in films
