Two young brothers escape their chaotic family life with dreams of flying. Inspired by a local legend, they attempt to build a working airplane. And in the process of transforming their ordinary red wagon into a fantastical flying machine, transform their own lives into an extraordinary adventure. "The King" (father) always beat the younger brother instead of the older one when he was drunk, causing the older one to care for the younger one a lot more. The mother, has no idea about this abuse.
At one point in the film one of the boys fit wings and a lawnmower engine to a Radio Flyer wagon, enabling the younger boy to fly away from home to escape his abusive stepfather "The King". There has been speculation that this fantastical journey was intended as a metaphor for suicide, but this has been denied by Donner.
