Two young brothers escape their chaotic family life with dreams of flying. Inspired by a local legend, they attempt to build a working airplane. And in the process of transforming their ordinary red wagon into a fantastical flying machine, transform their own lives into an extraordinary adventure. "The King" (step-father) always beat the younger brother instead of the older one when he is drunk, causing the older one to care for the younger one a lot more. The mother has no idea about this abuse.

At one point in the film one of the boys fit wings and a lawnmower engine to a Radio Flyer wagon, enabling the younger boy to fly away from home to escape his abusive step-father "The King". There has been speculation that this fantastical journey was intended as a metaphor for suicide, but this has been denied by Donner.
