Disney's ''The Kid'' is a 2000 American comedy-drama fantasy film, directed by Jon Turteltaub and written by Audrey Wells. It stars Bruce Willis and Spencer Breslin, with Emily Mortimer, Lily Tomlin, Chi McBride, and Jean Smart playing smaller roles. Walt Disney Pictures released the film on July 7 in the United States and received mixed reviews from critics. The film was based on a ''Twilight Zone'' episode, "Walking Distance", that originally aired on October 30, 1959. ==Plot== Russ Duritz works as an image consultant, but he is impolite to people and has a strained relationship with his father. One of his clients is a stadium manager who is reneging on a previous promise to fund a baseball camp for disadvantaged children. When Russ makes a pie throwing video to fabricate an explanation, his coworker Amy urges him to reconsider. When Russ returns home to find a toy plane on his porch, he assumes it is a gift from his father. However, inside he sees a strange agitated boy and chases him through the streets. After seeing the boy enter Skyway Diner, Russ walks in and finds no sign of him. Believing the experience to be a hallucination, Russ goes to a psychiatrist appointment the next day, but finds the same boy on his couch eating popcorn afterwards. The boy says that his name is Rusty and that he was originally searching for his toy plane. Starting to see a resemblance, Russ begins comparing memories and birthmarks with Rusty, and figures out that the boy is actually Russ as a kid. After a series of questions, Rusty tells Russ that he dislikes his future. Amy finds out about the boy the next day and starts to think that Russ and Rusty are father and son. After she accuses him of keeping Rusty a secret, Russ tries to tell her the truth. However, she only comes to believe it after seeing that the two have nearly identical arguing styles. When Amy finds out that Russ lied and aired the stadium manager's tape, she gets mad at him and leaves disappointed. Russ decides to cancel his appointments and spend an afternoon walking and driving around the city with Rusty, trying to find out why Rusty is there and what Russ needs to fix from the past. As they drive through a tunnel, Russ recalls a fight he lost with some neighborhood bullies who were abusing a three-legged dog named Tripod. They emerge from the tunnel to find themselves reliving Rusty's eighth birthday in 1968. Russ helps Rusty win the fight and save Tripod, but suddenly remembers that because of the fight, his sick mother also came to school for him that day. When they get home, Rusty's father angrily shakes and scolds him for getting into trouble and causing his mother more stress. Rusty cries and his father tells him to grow up, rubbing Rusty's eyes painfully and causing a lifelong facial tic. Russ tells Rusty that his mother will die before his next birthday, then comforts him. Russ tells Rusty that his father was angry and scared because of the huge responsibility of raising a boy alone. The two go to Skyway Diner and congratulate each other about the fight. When a dog named Chester greets Rusty, they find out that his owner is an older version of Russ who owns planes and raises a family with Amy as his wife. Realizing that Rusty's appearance was meant to change his ways rather than the other way around, Russ returns to his time, arranges plans to see his dad, buys his assistant tickets to Hawaii, and, with a puppy, returns to Amy, who invites him into her home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disney's The Kid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
