''Run Wild, Run Free'' is a 1969 British film directed by Richard C. Sarafian, based on the 1967 novel ''The White Colt'' by David Rook.
Ten-year-old Philip Ransome (Mark Lester) has been almost entirely mute since the age of four. Unable to connect to his parents, he spends his days wandering the moors alone. One day, he meets an albino horse and immediately becomes attached to it. Later, he befriends a retired colonel (Creator/JohnMills) and a girl his age named Diana (Creator/FionaFullerton), who helps him train a falcon named Lady. Philip slowly begins to emerge from his shell, but every time he seems to be making progress, something happens to set him back.
