The Popes are a family who haven't been able to use their real identity for years. In the late sixties, the parents set a weapons lab afire in an effort to hinder the government's Vietnam war campaign. Ever since then, the Popes have been on the run with the authorities never far behind. Their survival is threatened when their eldest son falls in love with a girl, and announces his wish to live his life on his own terms.

I'm a little late to watching this one, but it was pretty good. Whenever I watch River Phoenix's movies, it makes me what could've been, because he had a ton of talent. Judd Hirsch was also good in this one too
