Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer (2011) is a German family adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Hermine Huntgeburth and based on Mark Twain's novel. Luís Hofmann plays the irrepressible Tom, with Heike Makatsch and Benno Fürmann alongside him.

Tom spends his days along the Mississippi — dodging Aunt Polly, skipping school, and talking the neighbourhood kids into painting his fence. His closest companion is the rootless Huck Finn. One night the two sneak out to the graveyard and witness something they were never meant to see. The pranks are suddenly behind them.

A German-French-Romanian co-production rated 0+ and aimed squarely at families. Light enough for young kids, quick-paced enough that parents won't keep checking their phones. Stream Tom Sawyer (2011) online on iFILM.
