    A somber, dramatic and heartfelt story.

    This is a somber, dramatic and heartfelt true story of the abduction of Adam Walsh, eldest son of future America's Most Wanted host John Walsh. After Adam is kidnapped and later found murdered, John and his wife Reve become advocates for missing children.

    The events surrounding Adam were heartbreaking and traumatic, making you feel for the pain his death has caused his parents and relatives and making you cringe at the thought of Adam going through such a terrible ordeal. I'll always remember watching this TV movie as a kid, eager to see how everything unfolded at the end.

    The story definitely leaves you sad, but also leaves your yearning for justice and stronger laws to protect our young children. The Walshes definitely made a lasting impact in America in their continued advocacy and mission to protect children.

    Grade A-

    One of the finest television movies

    This fall will mark 20 years since the first airing of 'Adam'. While John Walsh now hosts 'America's Most Wanted' as well as his own talk show, in my opinion, he has become 'America's Most Admired'. I will take a show like 'AMW' over any reality show airing today. I believe that society can become more educated from this show than from a show depicting marrying a total stranger of eating raw flora on some deserted island.

    Huzzah for 'Adam', John Walsh, and 'America's Most Wanted'.

    One of the best Made for TV movies out there

    I have seen Adam countless times (the first time when it it aired in 83, I was nine years old) I am moved everytime I see it.. its such a sad movie yet so uplifting for its strong message..The message of a father (John Walsh of America's Most Wanted, a living saint in my eyes) who after his son is brutally murdered stands up and fights the system to get rights for child victims!! John Walsh could have easily went back to his life and quietly mourned little Adam, I wonder than if anyone else would have had the guts to stand up for the children..Thank God John did.

    Get out the tissue

    You'll need it. Adam is a wonderful movie based on the heart wrenching story of Adam Walsh. The movie gives insight into what it is like to have child kidnapped, and the emotions that go along this roller coaster. The acting is great and well written. Since its a tv movie it isn't on very often but try lifetime. It is well worth the effort.

    Good movie that is filled with sadness, but special for the message it brought and the awareness it created.

    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.
