Suspenseful drama about a young Amish boy witnessing a murder while in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania train station. Police detective John Book (Harrison Ford) is assigned the case. He realizes that the killer is following him and the boy, so Book borrows the blue Squareback from his sister and drives the boy (Samuel, played by Lukas Haas) and his recently widowed mother (Rachel, Kelly McGillis) to her father's farm outside of Strasburg, PA. He is wounded by the killer but supresses the pain and fatigue until he drops them off. As he drives away, he faints and runs into the large purple martin birdhouse, knocking it over. Book is cared for by Rachel and slowly regains his strength. He works on getting the VW running again, with the father (Eli Lapp, played by Czech-born Jan Rubes) sometimes checking in on him. After the dramatic final confrontation scene between Book and the killer team, he drives off in the VW. Book fixed the fallen birdhouse during his recuperation time. |
