They need a new engine and can't afford one, so under cover of darkness they slip off to a nearby town and steal the engine from an airplane displayed in the courthouse square.

It looks as if the town will not have an entry in the very year it hosts the famous annual race, but then Mike and his crew go to work.

#The movie the dreamers 2005 trial

Miss Madison's engine has exploded during a time trial and the boat itself is seriously damaged. Now he is suddenly needed again, by the town and the boat, and comes out of retirement to the pride of his son Mike ( Jake Lloyd), and the concern of his wife Bonnie ( Mary McCormack), who like so many movie wives frets that her spouse is either (a) going to get killed, or (b) not be home for dinner. The Madison Regatta has been held since 1950 local businessman Jim McCormick ( Jim Caviezel) used to pilot the boat, but retired after an injury 10 years earlier. The boat is 'Miss Madison,' an Unlimited Hydroplane (I think that means anything goes with engines and speed). Factories are closing, people are moving to big cities to find work, and although Madison is the only town to enter its own boat in the Madison Regatta, things look grim for this year's race. As 'Madison' opens in 1971, times are hard for the town, which was once the busiest port above New Orleans and one of the richest cities in the state.
