William Popper (Michael Sarrazin) is a wealthy, shiftless college student at Columbia who, one night in a rainstorm, accidentally kills a jaywalker with his car. Sentenced to a year in prison for manslaughter, William begins serving his term, but before it's finished he decides to break out. With the help of his faithful and politically radical girlfriend, Jane (Barbara Hershey), he skips town and escapes to Canada, where the two are obliged to live like fugitives.

Es excelente, la experiencia vivida por Chris te pone la piel de gallina. La actuación de Will y su hijo es descomunal, metiéndose a fondo en sus personajes y traspasando la pantalla. Película de Óscar.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
