Tom and Huck

Tom and Huck is an Adventure film that was released by Disney in 1995. It is based on Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

The film followed Tom Sawyer and his best friend Huckleberry Finn, who witness the murder of the town doctor by Injun Joe. To make matters worse, Muff Potter, the town drunk is accused of the murder, but only Tom knows that he's innocent, but Huck does not want to reveal the truth, stating an oath that if either of them confessed about who really did it, then they would drop dead to the ground and rot. Made even worse when their attempt to prove Muff's innocence by trying to acquire a treasure map from Injun Joe proves most difficult, and the map is burned up after several failed attempts. At the trial of Muff Potter, Tom reveals Joe as the true murderer of Doc Robinson and not Muff Potter. As a result, Joe then threatens to kill Tom if he ever sees him again, now that he spilled everything.

While attending a festival with a group of children, Tom and his other friend, Becky Thatcher, go off to explore McDougal's cave where they meet up with Injun Joe in the process. They wind up getting lost, but Becky is able to escape so that she can go get help. While in the cave, Tom manages to find the treasure but he meets up with Injun Joe once again. Just when it seems that Joe is about to kill Tom, Huck shows up and is able to save Tom. As a result, during the final scrape, Injun Joe falls over into a chasm to his death. Both Tom and Huck are declared the heroes of the town where Tom is on the front page of the newspaper and Huck is adopted by Widow Douglas.

At the end, Tom and Huck begin contemplating about their future and their friendship.
