Student:
14yearold Walter Haley Joel Osment is left by his irresponsible mother, Mae Kyra Sedgwick, to live for the summer with his reclusive, bachelor greatuncles, Hub Robert Duvall and Garth Michael Caine. Despite living on a ramshackle Texan farm, they are said to have a secret fortune and are made the target of every traveling salesman. They, in turn, sit on their porch with shotguns, the salesmen their targets. Walter is given a room in the attic and is not welcomed at first, until they realize he annoys other golddigging relatives who visit with their children. For his part, Walter persuades his uncles to try spending some of their money, generally with disastrous results. Packets of seeds to plant a vegetable garden turn out all to be corn. Then they order a lion for an animal target and end up with an aging, tame lioness, which they turn over to Walter as a pet. Later, it is released by accident and takes to the cornfield, which becomes her new jungle home. While loading 50pound bags of Lion Chow, Hub passes out and is taken to the hospital. On leaving, they encounter four greasers at a roadside store who draw switchblade knives on Hub, but are easily beaten by him in a fight. A subplot develops around the photograph of a beautiful woman that Walter finds in the attic. In a series of flashbacks, Garth tells Walter the story of their African past, during which Hub fell in love with an Arab princess promised to a powerful Sheik. When they married, the Sheik put a price on Hubs head, keeping them in constant peril from assassins. Finally Hub won a duel against the Sheik but spared his life, warning him to cease the manhunt. When Walter asks to hear more from Hub, his uncle reveals that Jasmine died in childbirth. Hub then returned to the French Foreign Legion, until he retired with Garth to their farm, where they are resignedly waiting to die. Walter asks Hub for confirmation, since his mother always lies to him. Hub responds with a piece of his What Every Boy Needs to Know... speech, that the actual truth is not as important as belief in ideals. Walter then asks Hub to promise to be around to give him the rest of the speech when hes old enough and Hub grudgingly agrees. Late one evening, Walter trails Garth and discovers they have a room filled with money underneath the barn. On another night, Walters mother and her current boyfriend, a supposed private investigator, arrive. While the uncles sleep, Stan and Mae demand that Walter reveal the location of his uncles fortune, claiming they were actually bank robbers. When Walter chooses to believe in his uncles instead, Stan pins Walter down and begins beating him. Sensing that he is in danger, the lioness emerges from the cornfield and mauls Stan. Awakened by the ruckus, Hub and Garth find the old lioness has died of heart failure defending her "cub". The next day, Walter leaves with his mother. Once on the road, Mae explains that Stan will be staying with them to recuperate, but Walter asks her instead to do something thats best for me for once and abandons her. While Hub and Garth are delighted to see him back, Walter insists there have to be changes: His uncles must involve themselves in his education and live carefully, as he wants them to die of old age. Seventeen years later, Walter is alerted by the sheriff of his uncles deaths from a failed flying stunt with their biplane. Arriving at the farm, he is given his uncles will, declaring The kid gets it all. Just plant us in the damn garden, with the stupid lion. A helicopter bearing the logo Sahara Petroleum then touches down near the homestead and a man steps out with his young son, explaining that he heard about Hub and Garths deaths on the radio. He had recognized the names as the two Americans in tales told to him in his youth by his grandfather, a very wealthy sheik. When the mans young son asks Walter if his uncles were real, Walter confirms, Yeah. They really lived.
