Jack Bruno, a Las Vegas cab driver with a criminal past, picks up two teenagers. He is initially unaware that the two are actually aliens from another planet and the sinister people after them are government agents. This family movie offers instantly forgettable entertainment. The story is silly and the special effects are not always that special. The script is based on Alexander H. Key's 1968 novel Escape to Witch Mountain , which Disney has filmed twice before.
