When Russell Greene loses his job, he decides to go on the road with his family.

Filmed in Alberta, "The Gifted One" was intended as the pilot for a weekly TV series. The title character, played by Pete Kowanko, is a very young man with remarkable mental and physical powers. Raised from childhood as a modern superman, Pete begins yearning for his roots and accordingly conducts a search for his birth mother. He is then pursued by sinister characters who have their own reasons for preventing Pete from finding out the truth about himself. The whole thing sounds a lot like the 1990s series "The Pretender", which managed to get past the pilot stage. Also starring Wendy Phillips, Brandon Call, G.W. Bailey and John Rhys-Davies, "The Gifted One" was first telecast June 25, 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
