Escape to Witch Mountain

Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) is a Disney sci-fi family adventure you can watch online on iFILM. Director John Hough adapted Alexander Key's 1968 novel about two orphaned siblings who can do things no one else can — and who have no idea why.

Tia moves objects without touching them. Her brother Tony plays harmonica and sees glimpses of things that haven't happened yet. When wealthy schemer Aristotle Bolt, played by Ray Milland, decides the children are valuable property, his fixer Deranian — Donald Pleasence in full creep mode — poses as their long-lost uncle to deliver them. The only adult willing to push back is Jason, a stubborn widower played by Eddie Albert, who ends up driving the kids across California in a battered RV toward a mountain they've seen only in a dream.

Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann became familiar faces in Disney productions throughout the late 1970s after this film. Watch Escape to Witch Mountain online on iFILM.
