Savannah Smiles is a 1982 comedy film starring Bridgette Andersen, Donovan Scott, and Mark Miller. The plot centers around a seven year-old girl named Savannah, whose father is running for Senate. Savannah's parents pay no attention to her, so she decides to run away and hides in her Aunt's car.
When her aunt goes to the park, Savannah switches cars and ends up with two convicts, who just escaped the night before. The convicts take her in and soon discover there is a $100,000 reward for her safe return. But the robbers grow close to her, and ironically, Savannah finds the love and attention she always wanted.
