[edit] Plot summary
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Jeffrey Lionel "Maniac" Magee, an orphan who is homeless and is a baseball superstar, can run very fast on railroad tracks, and is able to soothe racial tensions in his town of Two Mills as he tries to find a home. Two Mills is divided between the African-Americans and whites by Hector Street (Blacks on East End, Whites on West End). The racial tensions in this film are very strong. Maniac is very confused about the color of his skin and is blind in a way.
