Catch That Kid

Twelve-year-old Madeline Rose 'Maddy' Phillips discovers her deep love for climbing as she navigates her youth. However, her passion is overshadowed by the looming risks associated with her father's past climbing accident.

Maddy's father, Tom, suffers a horrifying fall from a height of over 100 feet while climbing. The traumatic incident leaves him paralyzed from the neck down, casting a dark shadow over the family.

Maddy's mother, Molly, is filled with dread and forbids her daughter from climbing. This decision stems from her desire to protect Maddy from the pain and consequences of climbing that have deeply affected their family.

Tom requires an experimental surgery that could potentially improve his condition, but the costs are astronomical. The family struggles with the reality that their insurance will not cover the $250,000 needed for the procedure.

Desperation mounts as Molly seeks a loan from her employer, Harderbach Financial, to finance Tom's surgery. However, the company bluntly refuses to provide assistance, adding to the family's mounting stress.

Determined to save her father, Maddy comes up with a risky plan to steal money from the same bank that denied them a loan. She recruits her friends, Gus and Austin, using her mother's knowledge of the bank's layout as an advantage.

To persuade her friends to join her scheme, Maddy charms them by sharing half of her coveted friendship necklace. She devises a way to manipulate them through feigned romantic interest, setting the stage for the heist.

The operation unfolds during a high-profile gathering held by Donald Brisbane, the bank's president. Maddy cunningly brings along her infant brother, Max, under the pretense of babysitting, which complicates the plan further.

Inside the bank, Maddy and Gus execute a stealthy infiltration while Austin manages logistics outside. However, Maddy’s climbing gear malfunctions, thrusting her into a heart-pounding free climb to reach the vault.

With time running out, Maddy successfully enters the vault code 'Madeline' and secures the critical cash. In their haste to escape, they trigger the alarms, and chaos erupts as they try to flee.

As alarms blare, Maddy and her friends narrowly evade capture, dodging security dogs. They receive unexpected help from Gus's older brother Chad, who inadvertently complicates their escape by tasing himself in the frenzy.

In the aftermath of the heist, Gus and Austin discover Maddy's deceitfulness. Their betrayal is revealed through a matching necklace, causing fractures in their friendship as they process the emotional turmoil.

Amidst a dramatic police chase, Maddy, Gus, and Austin confront their situation together. Their teamwork highlights their unique skills and allows them to navigate the difficulties of being on the wrong side of the law.

With support from her friends at the hospital, Maddy prepares to ensure Tom’s surgery is funded. Molly, realizing Maddy's true intentions stem from a desire to help, begins to piece together the facts surrounding the heist.

In the wake of Maddy's actions, Molly forgives her daughter, emphasizing the importance of family unity. This moment leads to a wave of public sympathy and donations for Tom's surgery, restoring hope for their family.
