After Virginia's (Lindze Letherman) mother is killed in a freak riding accident, her father (Gabriel Byrne) sells the offending mare, Twister, and forbids Virginia to ever ride. But you know kids - they don't listen! When Twister later gives birth to a foal, Virginia breaks the ban and grooms Twister's offspring to compete in the big Memorial Day 50 Mile Endurance Race.

Gabriel Byrne is good in these kinds of movies (see: Into the West) and it's not perfect, but Virginia's Run is entertaining enough.

The characters feel like there are actual people. It's the best movie ever! The story was amazing! The acting was excellent!! The dad and the girls really seemed to be a family. The horses were awesome. There were funny parts and sad parts. I loved it! Anyone who loves horses will LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Buy it, watch it, watch it again!!

THIS WAS AN OUTSTANDING FAMILY FILM. THE VALUES OF FAMILY LIFE, TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY AND THE BONDING EXPERIENCE BETWEEN HORSE AND RIDER WERE BROUGHT INTO SHARP FOCUS. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT MAKES THE HEART GLAD AND THE SPIRIT SOAR. THE SCENERY, THE RIDING ADVENTURE AND INDEED THE ACTING WERE ALL WAY ABOVE LEVEL. AS A CLERGYMAN I HAVE INDEED ENCOUNTERED THE PAIN AND ANGST BROUGHT ON BY THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE. THIS FILM BRINGS HOPE AND THE GRACE OF HEALING AT EVERY TURN. MY SERMON FOR THE DAY: "CLOSE TO NATURE CLOSE TO GOD."

Our granddaughters ages 9 and 3 both enjoyed wathching this movie. While there is tragedy it all works out in the end.

very good product. 13 items bought at the same time, combined shipping was not considered. shipping for 13 dvd's was $35.00 which is outrageous. there shipping cost was $8.00 ........ should improve the combined shipping policy........ would buy more items from you if shipping was not so un-reasonable.

Ok, call me crazy, call me anything you feel fits, but this
movie drove me bonkers! I grew up w/ horses, and thus am a
horseperson. And the first thing a true horseperson will notice is that Stormy, the foal that is born, is NOT a newborn foal. Couple things that suggest this: 1.) there's no sac around him as he's coming out. 2.) he's to big, and 3.) He stands not even 2 minutes after he comes out. NO newborn foal stands that quickly and is able to walk. I've seen plenty of foals born, and they all try several times before succeeding in standing.
Another thing, after his mother passes, he wouldn't have survived. A newborn needs the mother's milk within the first hour or so after being born, w/out they'll die, or be very sickly.
One more thing I need to vent about, so bear with me. It says 2 years later after Stormy is a foal. When they show him again...um I'm sorry, but that ain't no 2 year old...That horse had to be 5 or 6, 4 possibly. He was too filled out. Also, there is no way a 2 year old could run a 50-mile or so endurance race. 2 year old thoroughbreds only run a mile at most in races, and only 2-3 times that year. The horse would have not have been able to do what the horse in the movie did.
I'm sorry if I ruined this movie for you, but it really bugs me. I hate it when people decide "oh hey let's make a horse movie" but they don't know a thing about horses. And I realize not many people would care that much, but I do, it's just something that bugs me, we all have things that bug us, people who don't know what the heck they're doing bug me....to be more specific, Directors who don't know the first thing about horses!

This is an wonderful film. Especially, if you want to view people in their horse "click" environment versus why most horse owners love their animals. This is one of the best Horse films made with lots of real life issues and filming. A must see film.

This movie is the best movie I have ever seen. I am a big fan of horse racing, and I loved this movie!!! It is all about courage and never giving up. The horses in this movie are fantasticlly trained, I can tell!!!!!! Buy this movie for a horz lova of any age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for giving us a pan and scan of this film. You just lost a customer. What is it with American media corporations and abridgments? What is it with Americans and pan and scanned versions of films?

the cover may be somewhat misleading it is mainly about horses, and the only thing about this movie I dont like is how cruel the guy i think named darrel??? treats his horses he kicks the horse about a million times in one minute at the finish line when no one is comming? and he kicks the horse so hard is goes soo fast that he has to rear back to stop before hitting the crowd! okok so two sisters mother died and the father doesnt want her riding so when darrels fathers mare has a foal the mare dies and the foal was being taking care of by virginia the girl. so then youll just have to find out the rest yourself I dont want to spoil the movie, but I like the part when she trys to drive the truck lol, giggle giggle
