The film is an adaptation from the novel by Mark Twain. Huckleberry Finn is a young boy in the 1840's, who runs away from home, and floats down the Mississippi River. He meets a runaway slave named Jim and the two undertake a series of adventures. As the story progresses Huck begins to have a change of heart, he gradually begins to distinguish between right and wrong, and conclusively, Huck is faced with the morale dilemma between the world's prejudice, of which he's grown up with, and the lessons Jim has taught him throughout the story about the evils of racism.
