YOUNG FUGITIVES has an interesting premise which is about a geriatric old-timer who is awarded a huge cash sum of money for being the last living Civil War veteran in his part of the country. His newly-acquired fortune leads to both good situations and bad, as the old boy meets some new friends but, unfortunately for him, becomes acquainted with a robber gang who plan to get the money for themselves.
The situation that follows is part hostage film and part crime thriller, but for the most part it's just a slow and stagy drama. There's a heck of a lot of talk here which doesn't really add much to the discussion and the characterisation is nil throughout. The plot simply moves from A to B to C throughout in a very simplistic way which is perhaps unsurprising given this film's B-movie background.
