In 1904, three London children move to the country after their father is falsely imprisoned, forced to live in poverty in rural Yorkshire. But the children don't simply wait for an adult to save the day. As soon as they have the chance, they try and free their father themselves - with their optimism mirrored in that which runs through this much-loved movie. Although set more than 100 years ago, The Railway Children has a timeless quality, offering adventure and excitement, but grounding those thrills in the everyday.

An all time classic showed at both christmas and easter shows young children how little things can make a big difference. Although it is an old film it enchants families to watch it every christmas and sit in front of a warm log fire feeling the essence of the movie. a film everyone should see and suitable for all which is a big plus!
