Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn is a 2014 American comedy-drama/adventure film starring Joel Courtney as Tom Sawyer, Jake T. Austin as Huckleberry Finn, Katherine McNamara as Becky Thatcher, Noah Munck as Ben Rogers, and with Val Kilmer as Mark Twain. It is based on Mark Twain's novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Directed by Jo Kastner, the film is released by VMI Worldwide.
The adventure unfolds as Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn – Tom's friend from the streets – witness a murder in the graveyard. Tom and Huck flee to Jackson Island and make a pact never to tell anyone about the incident. However, when the good-natured Muff Potter, who has been blamed for the murder is sentenced to death by hanging, Tom breaks his promise and returns to exonerate Muff Potter. Injun Joe, the actual murderer, makes a hasty exit from the courtroom during the trial. A short time later, Tom and Huck find references to a treasure and have to face Injun Joe again.
Tom Sawyer was filmed on location in Bulgaria in August 2011.
The film had a limited theatrical release followed by a DVD / Video on Demand release on 7 April 2015.
