Two outcasts find friendship and a way out of their difficult lives in 1998's "The Mighty."
A young lad with a physical problem befriends a learning disabled young man whose mother was killed by an insane father. They live through the book of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. This book enables them to win out over a gang of school bullies and rescue the learning disabled youth when his father suddenly reappears and kidnap him.
When our sickly youth succumbs at the end, his friend is able to go on and write a book.
This is a warm story that carries us through adversity.
Nice to see that Sharon Stone sacrifices her usual sexy roles to portray the mother of the ill youth.
