Lassie is a family-based British/Irish/French 2005 film directed by Charles Sturridge. When a family hits financial crisis, they have no choice but to sell Lassie, and allow her to escape to the outside world of cold and hurt. Hundreds of miles away from her supposed "loving" family, Lassie sets out in a thrilling adventure to reclaim what is hers — her family.

Sam Carraclough, a miner who struggles to earn enough money to feed his family, sells the family's collie, Lassie, to the Duke of Rudling. The film follows Lassie on the collie's 500-mile journey from the Duke of Rudling's estate in the Scottish Highlands to the Carraclough home.
