This internationally-beloved “heroic flight of fancy” (L.A. Times) with an all-star cast returns to the cinema screen. A mysterious white stallion appears to a Traveller grandfather and his two grandsons in a Dublin slum. Since the younger of the two boys is the only one who can control the horse, ownership falls to him and his older brother. With their father, the police and an underhand horse breeder all chasing the stallion, the boys escape on his back to begin an inspiring journey into the west of Ireland.
