Richard Gabai gives
Jack London's literary classic a modern-day makeover with this family-friendly
adventure. Nine-year-old city girl
Ryan (
Ariel Gade) is visiting her grandpa (
Christopher Lloyd) in Montana and lamenting the lack of shopping malls when she befriends a wounded wild dog and names it
Buck. As the annual sledding race draws near,
Ryan and her new friends begin training
Buck for the big day in hopes that he can win the gold. Can
Buck's wild spirit be tamed in time for the race, or is he more comfortable out in the wilderness, running free with his four-legged friends?
Veronica Cartwright,
Timothy Bottoms, and
Joyce DeWitt co-star.
