A brother and sister team, Tia and Tony (Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann), find themselves orphans. They remember their foster parents and only glimpses of their previous life. They are also aware that they have abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Tia carries a star-box that looks like one of those old tin lunch boxes, which may give a clue to where they came from. The duo may have stayed in the orphanage forever. However, they have a chance encounter with a stranger, Mr. Deranian (Donald Pleasence), and then their adventure begins. Mr. Deranian’s employer, Aristotle Bolt (Ray Milland), on the surface, appears to be benevolent. Soon, they find he has nefarious plans to use their powers for evil or profit. It behooves them to escape and continue their search for their previous life. In their effort to find where they came from, they also help another stranger, Jason O'Day (Eddie Albert), get back his emotional life. Will they ever find their way home, or are they destined to run forever? ------------- This movie is one of Disney's best presentations. One advantage is that it was made before somebody tried to be politically correct or force some politically correct idea down our throats. As with many of the earlier movies, one nicety is that the credits appear before the film so that you can anticipate the actors and the music that you are about to hear. Because nowadays people have larger television screens, it is a little easier to see the wires that hold up items that are supposed to be floating. Nevertheless, this does not interfere with the entertainment. One advantage of this DVD and DVDs at this time is the added voice-over, "Conversations with John Hough", which gives insight into what they were trying to produce as they made this movie. Listen to the overview and then watch the movie again, and you will gain more insight and still not lose any of the entertainment value. Escape to which Mountain may be superseded by a new version, but it will never be duplicated or exceeded for pure entertainment.
