Beta Tape The Heavenly Kid Fantasy/Comedy….TXA 3261….Color…90 min…Thorn Emi/ HBO Video….Starring…Lewis Smith, Jane Kaczmarke, Jason Gedrick, and Richard Mulligan….. A tale of divine intervention, Heavenly Kid is the story of a teenage hero who dies in a car crash adn returns 20 years later as the guardian angle of his own son. The story begins in the early 1960 s. Two cars race down a dirt strip toward a sheer cliff. Joe Barnes leaps from his vehicle jsut before it reaches the edge. Bobby Fontana is trapped behind the wheel as his own car hurtles into space, then crashes in flames on the rocks below. Years later, in the 1980 s, Bobby is still in permanent limbo as a not-yet "heavenly kid". Bobby s ticket to heaven is an assingment to help Lenny, a 17 year old loner, a loser, the sort of hopeless wimp that the tough, cocky Bobby used to depise. Bobby is almost too successful. The new cocky, confident Lenny puts his own wheels in motion for a dangerous game of deja vu, an encounter on the road where the past and the present meet in this comic yet heart stopping fantasy. Invisible men, driverless cars and fun that only an angel and a teenage boy can conjure up
