Tyson's Run

 


Homeschooled due to his autism, fifteen-year-old Tyson (Major Dodson) attends public school for the first time... because he wants to learn algebra and his mother (Amy Smart) doesn't know it. As he helps his father (Rory Cochrane), the high school football coach, clean up after the players, champion marathon runner Aklilu (Barkhad Abdi) comes to the field to practice. Tyson's life is changed forever when he runs with and befriends Aklilu.

Tyson is determined to run his first marathon in hopes of winning his father's approval. With the help of his new friends, Aklilu and Shannon (Layla Felder) and his parents, Tyson learns that with faith in yourself and the willingness to meet every challenge, anything is possible.

Tyson’s Run is a movie that is relatable to all of us. Tyson’s longing to be accepted by his father leads him to push himself further than anyone might have thought possible. It's a heart-warming story of overcoming odds, changing perceptions, and
of love ultimately winning.


View the trailer before scrolling down to my review:



Tyson's Run, directed by Kim Bass, opens in theaters on March 11th. I was privileged with a sneak peek, and I recommend that you get your tickets now! This is a very inspirational film that makes you cheer on Tyson to win! Some characters and moments can provoke anger and sympathy, but the laughs along the way as well as changing dynamics give the viewer hope of defying the odds and feeling triumphant.

The Hollerman family are portrayed as Christian, but their faith is not the main focus in this film. It is a very family-friendly film that most of the family will enjoy. (The exceptions are under the age of eight.) We need a good dose of joy and hope, and Tyson's Run delivers it! It is simply an enjoyable story.
