THE MIGHTY (1998)

Cast

Plot

Directed by Peter Chelsom (Hear My Song) and based on the acclaimed novel 'Mighty the Freak', this is the moving story of two teenagers outcast by their peers for very different reasons. Persecuted at school for not fitting in, Max and Kevin join forces quite literally to face their enemies. What they also discover is a powerful and unique friendship that can overcome more than mere school bullies. It received critical acclaim on its release and deservedly so. The film manages to tackle the story without getting sentimental and the result is impressive. A rare treat so don't be put off by the appearance of a Culkin in the cast!
