Two crooks on the run are about to have their hearts stolen by a six-year-old girl. Savannah (Bridgette Andersen, The Parent Trap II) is the precocious six-year-old daughter of a busy politician who is consumed by his re-election campaign. She decides to run away from home and sneaks into a car driven by two escaped convicts, Alvie (Mark Miller, Christmas Mountain) and Boots (Donovan Scott, Police Academy), in a crazy comedy of errors. Hiding in an abandoned house, the two bumbling crooks initially try to hold the adorable Savannah for ransom to obtain a hefty reward for her return, but an unexpected bond grows among Savannah, Alvie and Boots, creating a surrogate family they have never known before. Their relationship is tested when the convicts, now seen as kidnappers, must choose between their freedom and their new friend in this timeless, classic comedy. Written and produced by the film's star Mark Miller (A Walk in the Clouds), Savannah Smiles features an all-star supporting cast that includes Academy Award© Nominee Pat Morita (The Karate Kid), Michael Parks (Kill Bill Vol.'s 1 & 2), John Fiedler (12 Angry Men), Fran Ryan (Pale Rider) and Golden Globe© Winner Peter Graves (Airplane!) and boasts a brand new 2K transfer from a 35mm print from the Library of Congress.
