Ralphie, age nine, only wants one thing for Christmas: the legendary official Red Ryder 200-Shot Carbine Action Range Model Air Riffle with a compass and this thing that tells time built right in the stock. The problem is that every adult in his life, beginning with his mother, is afraid he'll shoot an eye out. Ralphie's attempts to persuade Santa and his parents that he should get the Red Ryder gun form the basis for this charming and nostalgic look at growing up in a small town in Midwestern America in 1938. A sure hit with all ages.
