SYNOPSIS:
 
It is the summer of 1969 and 10-year-old Tommy Filmer has two loves in his life: Batman, his hero and Laurie Borgnine, his babysitter.  A series of events leave Laurie and her rebellious boyfriend J.J. to watch Tommy and his little sister Andrea.  Laurie and J.J. are given the opportunity to go to Woodstock and soon, Tommy, Andrea, and Jason (their dog) are headed to the historic concert.

At first, Woodstock is one big playground for Tommy. He makes new friends and listens to the music.  But the young boy soon finds a hero inside himself when fate puts him into the tent of a woman giving birth and later into the camp of the Hell's Angels. Calling upon his courage, Tommy delivers a woman's baby and helps to save his sister's lost dog from the criminal bikers dressed in his Batman costume.  His escape from the Hell's Angels sends him on an exciting journey through the chaos of Woodstock.

Trouble follows Tommy and Andrea home when the Hell's Angels, angry at being thwarted, take Tommy's family hostage.  When Tommy, dressed in his Batman costume goes to the police for help, he's dismissed as a prankster.  Overwhelmed by the situation, Tommy throws away his beloved costume and brings the police on a wild chase through town to his house where he puts himself in harms way, leading to a life changing moment for Laurie, Tommy and his family.
