The Black Stallion
“From the moment he first saw the stallion, he knew it would either destroy him, or carry him where no one had ever been before…”
Alec Ramsey (Kelly Reno), a boy sailing home with his father in 1946, keeps slipping down to the ship's hold to look at the Arabian stallion stabled there. When the ship sinks, the boy and the horse both live and wash up together on a deserted island. Back home, Henry Dailey (Mickey Rooney), a once successful trainer, helps get the horse ready for the fastest races in the world, and Carroll Ballard films the island stretches in long, nearly wordless takes.
