"Acclaimed cinematographer Carroll Ballard steps into the director's
chair with THE BLACK STALLION, a visually stunning adaptation of
Walter Farley's classic novel about the adventures of a young boy and
his love for a black, Arabian stallion. When Alec (Kelly Reno) washes
upon the shore of a deserted island after a terrible shipwreck, he
soon discovers that he isn't the only survivor. A wild Arabian
stallion managed to reach the island as well, giving Alec a new reason
to live. Gradually, Alec wins the stallion's trust, instigating a
relationship that will change both of them forever. When Alec is
finally discovered, he convinces his mother to let the stallion live
in the backyard, and after meeting Henry Dailey (Mickey Rooney), a
thrilling final chapter is introduced, one in which Alec and the
stallion begin to train for a racing championship, making their bond
even stronger.
Ballard's film, tautly edited by Robert Dalva and lushly photographed
by Caleb Deschanel, has become one of the pinnacle achievements of
family entertainment. Intelligent, simplistic, moving, and inspiring,
it is a brilliant example of cinema's ability to be effective without
relying on dialogue to tell the story. Featuring a standout
performance by Rooney as the horse trainer."
