A tale of a boy, a big house, the great outdoors with external unforseen forces causing distress. The time and setting is 1960 Connecticut and a young Arthur - played by Freddie Highmore and his kind grandmother - played Mia Farrow are solo sans Arthur's parents or his vanished Grandfather Archibald.
A ruthless developer (is there ever any other kind?) presents deep-in-debt granny (Happy Gilmore?) with papers making him the property owner. Arthur rises to the threat and helps save Gran's house from the evil opportunist.
The sequels are based on volumes three and four from the book series; the first "Arthur" film is a combination of the stories in the first two books.
