Joe the King movie

A destitute 14 year old (Noah Fleiss) struggles to keep his life together despite harsh abuse at his mothers (Karen Young) hands, harsher abuse at his fathers (Val Kilmer), and a growing separation from his slightly older brother (Max Ligosh). Petty thefts for food grow into more major takes until he steals a cash box from the diner where he works. Although Joe uses the money to pay off some of his fathers debts and to replace his mothers records that his father smashed in a fit of temper, Joe gets no thanks...
