Adam

It's a shame these made-for-TV movies are hardly getting a second chance nowadays, but a few have one thing in common: inspiration through willpower. ADAM is one such movie, and to this very day, it remains as powerful as it gets! This chronicles the movement of awareness from a fictional John Walsh to deliver the message to America about lost children following a true-life situation that shatters our hearts. It is a struggle for hope and accomplishment that results into a winningly emotional, and lesson-filled drama for all parents who raise young children. Walsh, as many of us know, hosts the long running and highly acclaimed AMERICA'S MOST WANTED. Here, he's the important role in the care of this film, making him (and this film) a benchmark example of support for the nationwide communities, and to the federal government. This one is so compelling, and so inspirational that it would be way too difficult not to recommend it. And the fact that ADAM is vital to the importance of our society would require a mandatory family viewing. Keep it up, John!

It was THE best TV movie ever. You would think after making this movie, parents would be more cautious of the wear abouts of their kids. But you still hear about so many child abduction cases throughout the USA. I think every police station or places that post missing children notices in the country should have a picture of Adam on their missing child wall. I don't think that there will be a greater TV movie made better than this. Good acting and a great history of what happened to ADAM. I still cry at the end with the funeral services. A definite A+ movie. I can't believe this movie is 21 years old now. I was 4 years old when this came out. I first saw this movie when I was 6 and still have the movie.

I remember when this TV movie aired I was in kindergarten and in fact my teacher even suggested that all of us small children watch this movie with our parents. Every parent with a small child feared that this tragedy would happen and what a nightmare it would have been to have a child abducted and murdered. The whole country was at this time bringing the missing children issue to the attention of people. All of this panic and awareness because of the abduction and murder of a little boy named Adam Walsh in Broward County, Florida. Thankful that this boys father John Walsh brought this case so much attention and awareness that a movie titled Adam was made for TV to expand the concern for children all across America. This movie is sad due to the death of a small child but brings a good message of awareness and concern for our children and any victim of crime for that matter. I wish some network would show Adam again I would like to see it over.

To this day, I still watch this movie because I have it taped on vhs and it's still one of the best tv movies ever made and it still makes me cry. They should really make more movies like this one now because everyday a child goes missing. Every year, they have the "Missing Children's Network" telethon so why not make more movies too.

THe movie of Adam based on the tragic tale of Adam Walsh is heartbreaking. It chronicles the tragedy of a young boy's life who was snuffed out from under us. His death was not in vain because his parents became advocates for missing children in real life. The movie ends with photos of missing children. The tragedy of missing child is often worse than knowing their fate. This film is faithful to the story. Daniel J. Travanti and JoBeth Williams play Adam's parents and they could not have done a better job. THe film may be over 20 years old but it is still very effective in bring human emotion to a story like Adam Walsh. He became the symbol for missing children. When Reve is reading those letters from people who have been through the hell that the Walshes have been through, it is heartbreaking. Rather than wallow in self-pity, they pursue justice for others who have been through the same. THey realize that they are not the only ones. The Walshes lives changed forever when Reve went to inquire about a lamp at the mall. She turns around and their little boy is gone forever. I remember the scene where they go to the car, leave the doors unlocked, and prepare if Adam comes home. That's probably the most memorable moment in the film.
