Movie Summary:
‘Dolphin Tale’ tells the story of Sawyer, a shy, withdrawn, young boy who isn’t doing well in school. He spends most of his time playing his Nintendo DS and building model airplanes and helicopters in his garage workshop. One day, Sawyer’s life changes when he helps free an injured dolphin whose tail was caught in a crab trap. The dolphin is taken to a nearby aquarium facility for care. On his way to and from school every day, Sawyer sneaks in and checks on the dolphin. He is soon discovered and befriended by a bubbly, talkative young girl named Hazel, whose dad, Dr. Clay, runs the facility. Sawyer soon develops a friendship with them and develops an even stronger relationship with Winter, the dolphin he helped save. Things start to look good for Winter, but her tail becomes infected. Dr. Clay and the marine staff decide that the only way they can save her is to amputate her tail. Sawyer knows that without a tail, a dolphin can’t swim and thus, will not likely survive. He seeks out the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy, a prosthetics doctor, who soon believes he’s found the answer to the dolphin’s problems: a prosthetic tail for Winter. Meanwhile, Winter overcomes her struggles and learns to swim with her new tail. Winter’s story of survival, as well as the persistence of Sawyer and his friends at the aquarium facility, inspires others and those inflicted with paralyzing diseases to never give up!
“Dolphin Tale” is a good, family-friendly, and inspiring movie that is based on a true story.
