'Son of Rambow': An Unlikely Action Hero

'Son of Rambow': An Unlikely Action Hero

British schoolkids Will and Lee are both about 11 years old, but they don't have much in common. Will is a sheltered lad whose religious upbringing forbids TV-watching and all sorts of other sinful stuff. Lee is a little hellion, constantly in trouble.

One day Lee gets Will in trouble, and when they're sent together to the principal's office, he takes advantage of Will's relative inexperience by offering to take the blame — and the torture, which he describes in some detail — if Will gives him something in return. Will gives up both his dad's wristwatch and a promise: to be stuntman in Lee's secret project, an amateur version of Sylvester Stallone's Rambo: First Blood that he's making with a videocam swiped from his brother.
