King of the Hill | 12-Year-Old Jesse Bradford’s Joyride

When a police officer threatens to tow his father’s car, Aaron Kurlander (Jesse Bradford) takes matters into his own hands. Unaware of Aaron’s joyride, Mr. Kurlander (Jeroen Krabbé) abandons his son for a job in another state, leaving Aaron in an empty apartment. Can Aaron drive the car to safety? And, more importantly, will he survive on his own?
