A father reminisces about his childhood when he and his younger brother moved to a new town with their mother, her new husband and their dog, Shane. When the younger brother is subjected to physical abuse at the hands of their brutal stepfather, Mike decides to convert their toy trolley, the "Radio Flyer", into a plane to fly him to safety.
Editor's Verdict
"Radio Flyer is a powerful family drama focused on themes of escape, childhood imagination, and abuse survival. The core narrative elements—the creation of the Radio Flyer and the escape attempt—are driven entirely by the abusive situation, not by the Christmas season. There is no significant presence of Christmas setting, plot drivers, or iconography."
