Threatened with recapture after a prison escape, Martin Stechert grabs a twelve-year-old as hostage. He proves to be named Martin, too, a quiet "good little boy" always obeying the rules, whom life has given only dismal loneliness and frustration in return. Soon he begins to admire "Stech" for his cheeky pranks against society and his desperate mission to make dreams come true. In a climactic moment, he chooses to stay with the man even though he could run away. Via hijacks and hijinx, they flee to the idyllic peace of the older Martin's childhood home, a cabin on a lake. But the police are close behind, impatient and trigger-happy.
Every kid should have one.
Martin’s Day (1985) is a touching drama-adventure that follows the unlikely friendship between Martin, a quiet young boy who has run away from home, and Paul, a reserved police officer tasked with finding him.

With heartfelt performances and a gentle blend of emotion and humor, this film celebrates connection, understanding, and the transformative power of human companionship.
