The director Carroll Ballard , who is famous for " Fly Away Home ", is a blockbuster work.
In a dramatic and lyrical style, it describes a boy who drifted to the desert island with The Black Stallion in a shipwreck. The man and the horse have established an extraordinary relationship between two people. Later, they were rescued and returned to human society. They met a veteran equestrian coach, who was trained as an excellent horse racing and young jockey, and won a championship in a competition.
The photography of the whole film is extremely beautiful and moving, especially the scene where the child star Kelly Reno was playing with The Black Stallion on the beach at the time, showing the extreme beauty of nature in audio-visual effects. The horse trainer played by Mickey Rooney also occupies an important position in the film. The triangular interaction between the old and the young and the horse erupts with touching sparks, which can be called a first-class masterpiece in similar films.
