Rainbow plot
"Don't dream the dream, be the dream"
Mike is 10 years old. His family consists of Frank, his eccentric magician grandfather, Jackie, his loving, untidy mother and his 13-year-old brother Steve, a real dreamer. One day, after a heavy rain storm, Mike sees a rainbow like he's never seen one before. He goes to investigate with Steve and his friends Tissy and Pete. The foursome discover a burnt crater where the rainbow came down. After an experiment with the destroyed earth, the ground takes on a bright color that quickly disappears. The friends are convinced that they have seen a "real" rainbow. Using homemade measuring instruments and the school computers, they try to calculate when the next rainbow will appear. It's time for a rainy school day. The children jump on their bicycles and give chase. In the end, they manage to catch up with the rainbow. When Mike and his friends step into the unusual phenomenon, they are taken for the ride of their lives.
