Based on the Newberry Award-winning novel by
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, this heartwarming tale of a boy and his dog reaches for greater significance and depth than the typical entry in the kids' movie genre.
Blake Heron stars as
Marty Preston, a kid who lives in a rural town with his mom and mailman dad (
Michael Moriarty). One day,
Marty finds an injured beagle that's run away from its abusive owner, a hunter named
Judd Travers (
Scott Wilson). Kindly neighbor
Doc Wallace (
Rod Steiger) tends to the dog's wounds, but
Marty's father explains that they must return the beagle to its rightful owner.
Travers continues to abuse the dog, and it runs away again, returning to
Marty. The boy, who has named the puppy "
Shiloh," attempts to hide the animal from his family in the woods, but a scrap with another stray dog leaves
Shiloh hurt and in need of medical assistance once again. Now
Marty's in deep trouble with his dad, until he comes up with a plan to buy
Shiloh from the nocuous
Travers.
Shiloh inspired a sequel,
Shiloh 2: Shiloh Season (1999).
