About this movie

Great film that still stands up today! Harrison Ford gives arguably his best performance as a tough Philadelphia detective in hiding protecting a young Amish boy who witnesses a crime. Well paced, with a great supporting cast.

Harrison Ford is outstanding. Definitely one of his best movies. And the supporting cast is just fantastic! e.g. Josef Sommer, Kelly McGinnis, Danny Glover, etc. The musical soundtrack really compliments the plot perfectly. The movie also provides great insight into the Amish lifestyle. This is an older movie that stands the test of time. A+
