Oscar-nominated actress Ellen Burstyn appears in this drama alongside Jonathan Taylor Thomas as a spirited older woman who decides to befriend and adopt an orphan (Thomas) to keep him out of trouble. Based on the clever novel by Clyde Edgerton, WALKING ACROSS EGYPT brings the story of an unlikely, but ultimately healing friendship to life through lively dialogue, strong performances, and realistically flawed characters.
