Running On Empty tells the story of parents Annie and Arthur Pope who in the 1970s are responsible for the anti-war protest bombing of a napalm laboratory. The family including their children has been changing locations, changing their names and hiding from the FBI, but one of their sons starts to break out of this fugitive lifestyle.
River Phoenix gives an Oscar nominated performance as the teenage son of radical parents in Sidney Lumet's interesting but not entirely satisfying politicial melodrama.
A tour-de-force in acting. Phoenix is a revelation!

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
A touching, forgotten drama about a family of radicals still running from the consequences of their actions. River Phoenix, Lahti and Hirsch all are wonderful. A must-see.
