Racing with the Moon

Streaming video - 1984

This is the story of Henry "Hopper" Nash (Sean Penn) and his buddy Nicky (Nicolas Cage) enjoying their last boyish exploits before they enter the Marines. What ensues is a tender, bittersweet tale of lost innocence and the trauma of growing up too fast. The result is a magic moment, brilliantly captured within the emotional crosscurrent of America's most dramatic time. Winner of the Golden Spike from the **Valladolid International Film Festival**. *"How long has it been since you went to a movie that ended with the words "I love you?" For me, it had been a very long time, and one of the simpler pleasures of RACING WITH THE MOON was to observe the movie marching inevitably toward those three words. A deeper plea...sure was that the movie arrived there with grace and charm." - Roger Ebert, **The Chicago Sun-Times***
