Everyone's Hero Release Date: September 15 Synopsis: A young boy (Jake T. Austin) finds himself at an extraordinary crossroads: He has a chance to be a hero and make a difference against incredible odds or he can play it safe. With faith in himself instilled by his family, he teams up with a sassy young girl (Raven-Symone) and some off-the-wall sidekicks and embarks on a sometimes perilous, often funny, cross-country quest. In the process, he restores his family's honor, befriends the world's biggest sports superstar, and reveals the hero within. Christopher Reeve was the original director on this computer-generated animated feature, the late actor-director's dream project.
