Calvin Fuller (Thomas Ian Nichols) has just lost the big baseball game for his little league team, the Reseda Knights. The worse part is, he didn't even try but just stood there as he struck out. Just as he's returning to the dug out, an earthquake hits, and Calvin is swallowed by the giant hole that opens in the ground.
To his surprise, Calvin lands in 6th century England. Because his appearance foiled the Black Knight, Calvin is hailed as a hero by the aging King Arthur (Joss Ackland).
However, all is not rosy in Camelot. Lord Belasco (Art Malik) has turned the people against Arthur and plans to get his hands on the crown by whatever means he can. In fact, this is the very reason that Merlin (Ron Moody) has summoned Calvin. But Calvin is a kid who can't even muster the courage to swing a bat. Can he find the courage to defeat the evil Belasco?
I first saw this movie when it was in the theater and loved it. I hadn't seen it since but rewatched it recently. It lost some of its charm in those years, but it was still plenty fun. Based loosely on a Mark Twain classic, it keeps the action moving forward. There were lots of laughs as Calvin tried to explain himself in the historical setting. The movie is predictable, but that doesn't really dampen any of the fun. Some of the scenes of special effects haven't aged well, but all the actors take it seriously enough to make that a minor point.
This will easily entertain kids. Parents will find it amusing if not as captivating as their kids will.
