Savannah Smiles (1982)

Savannah, the only child of wealthy politician Richard Driscoll, feels overlooked by a father more focused on his public image and career than his family. Starved for attention, she runs away and hides in the car of two dim-witted crooks. As the police close in on the men as suspected kidnappers, the unlikely trio forms a bond, and the crooks gradually become unexpected parent figures to the young girl.
