Annie (2014)

I was looking on Emirates homepage and found out some of the movies that will air on the flights.
One of them is Annie. I saw the trailer a few weeks ago and found it so cute.
I hope I can see it on board ^^



Plot
In Harlem, 10-year-old Annie Bennett lives in foster care with several other girls in the care of the cruel Colleen Hannigan. She spends each Friday waiting outside the restaurant where she believes her parents will return to collect her. She is rescued from being run down by a truck by Will Stacks, a cell phone mogul running for mayor. Stacks is a germaphobe who doesn't connect to common people well, and is losing badly. The rescue goes viral on the internet and Stack's numbers spike. Stacks' campaign manager Guy Gamberling suggests that he invite Annie to live with him as means to further boost his poll numbers. Stacks reluctantly agrees, but over the course of time, develops true affection for Annie, and plans to adopt her. After a disastrous public appearance, Gamberling (with the help of Miss Hannigan) arranges to have Annie claimed by impostors pretending to be her parents. But as they enact their plan, Gamberling betrays Miss Hannigan, who starts to have second thoughts. Around the same time, Annie soon learns that the impostors are not her parents, but ends up being kidnapped. Around the same time, Hannigan confesses Gamberling's scheme to Stacks, who then fires Gamberling. After a chase across Manhattan, Annie is rescued and Stacks quits the election to prove that he does care for Annie, reuniting them both.
