This is at heart a quest with a subplot about poor children attending a struggling school.
Ali and his friends are promised wild riches by two shady men who claim to have dropped it down a drain pipe.
With these typically moral stories Ali works hard only to discover the treasure isn't what he imagined.
He throws what is still very valuable away much to my annoyance as if this were a typical reaction.
Completely ruins all the anticipation leading up to it.
Otherwise a fine film.
