Whenan accident cripples Johnny Tremain's hand and ends his hopes of becoming agreat silversmith, Tremain finds himself without work and accused of acrime he did not commit. Sons of Liberty members Paul Revere and JosiahQuincy are outraged by the circumstantial case against Tremain, agree torepresent him free of charge, and win his acquittal in court. Throughassociation with his new friends, Tremain begins to better understand thecurrent political climate, and eventually joins them in the battle forfreedom. Tremain's involvement in the emptying of British tea intoBoston Harbor, the arrival of the Redcoats in Boston, and the beginnings ofthe American Revolution at Concord is powerful and moving. The costuming issplendid, the music patriotic, and the dialogue well crafted. The filmstars Hal Stalmaster as Johnny Tremain, costars Luana Patten and JeffYork, and runs 80 minutes. This classicDisney film is wonderful entertainment and a fairly faithful representation of a crucial period in American history. (Ages 8 and older) --TamiHoriuchi
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Johnny Tremain
It would appeal more to someone my age who watched it as a child.Today's kids would not get it at all.
Rating: - Johnny Tremain a 'sugar coat coming'
I though it was a good flick, but I have not read the book. It treats a heavy subject lightly. A little history with a lot of sugar coat.
Rating:  - Johnny Tremain
Great movie! Iused it for my 7th grade social studies class.We had just finished the Revolutionary War. They loved it!I also found a study guide to go along with it.
Rating: - A nice effort for its times, but a bit dated...
Johnny Tremain was a tiny Disney movie on early American History (or was it myth?). Yet it captured the minds and hearts of kids and adults of the time and helped spread some historic culture throughout the land.
Having said that, the modern perspective of things has changed all this and by today's standards it is at best a nice little adventure movie, but nothing more.
Many inaccuracies and liberties with historic fact have made it into what it is: a nice escapist movie. ... Read More
Rating: - Back to my childhood!
Johnny Tremain, originally came out when I was 10 years old and I hadn't seen it since then!It was fun to go back and see it at age 61!They don't make many pictures like this, great family entertainment!But you always expect that from Walt Disney!
