From the same woman who wrote The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton comes this story
Tex concerning a pair of brothers Jim Metzler and Matt Dillon. They have a
widower father Bill McKinney who was a rodeo clown and still follows the rodeo
circuit. The two kids are on their own a lot and Metzler becomes the designated
adult . Metzler is a star basketball player who wants to go to that Mecca of
basketball Indiana state. Dillon is immature and does a lot of foolish pranks
with his rich friend Emilio Estevez.
S.E. Hinton has a few adult themes in her work and note that this is a Disney production. Looking at the novel synopsis I see quite a few more adult themed situations have been eliminated to give Tex a PG rating.
Dillon was good and Tex was a step up in his career. But I think you'll be most impressed with Metzler who I thought was best in the film.
Tex is a great coming of age film that is timeless.
