Boy spends his time dreaming of <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jackson" title="Michael Jackson">Michael Jackson</a>, hanging out with his friends Dallas and Dynasty (both siblings), trying to impress Chardonnay, a girl at his school, talking to his pet goat, and making up wild stories about his absent father, Alamein. Rocky, meanwhile, is a quiet, odd child, who believes he has dangerous superpowers because his mother died giving birth to him. One day, Rocky's grandmother leaves for a funeral in <a href="/wiki/Wellington" title="Wellington">Wellington</a>, leaving Boy in charge of the house and taking care of the other children. Boy is then surprised to see his father and two other men arrive at the farm. </p><p>Boy is overjoyed to see Alamein return, thinking that he has come to take the boys away to live with him, but Rocky is uncertain about their father's sudden reappearance. It seems at first that Alamein has finally come back to be in his sons' lives, but it's soon revealed that he is actually there to find a bag of money that he had buried on the farm before being incarcerated for robbery. With his patched gang, the Crazy Horses (which is just him and two friends), Alamein begins digging up the field, searching for the money. Boy sees this and offers to help, thinking Alamein is digging for treasure, and Alamein soon decides to hang out with Boy and be a father. He cuts his son's hair to look like Michael Jackson (badly), and the two go on drives in Alamein's car and get revenge on Boy's school bullies by threatening them with a machete. Boy brings Alamein <a href="/wiki/Marijuana" class="mw-redirect" title="Marijuana">marijuana</a> to sell from a crop grown by Dallas and Dynasty's father, a member of a local gang. Alamein, uncomfortable with being called 'Dad,' convinces Boy to call him <a href="/wiki/Shogun" title="Shogun">Shogun</a> instead. </p><p>Boy begins to see himself as an adult and a Crazy Horse, growing distant from his friends. However, Alamein, unable to find the money, becomes frustrated and drives off, leaving Boy and his fellow crazy horses behind. Boy continues to dig for the money alone until he finally discovers it. Excited, Boy hides the moneybag in his goat's pen, then takes his father's Crazy Horses jacket and proudly treats his friends to <a href="/wiki/Ice_pop" title="Ice pop">ice blocks</a> and lollies. When Alamein drives up, Boy goes to tell him that he has found the money, but Alamein hits Boy for stealing his jacket and angrily questions him about where he found the money for the ice blocks, leaving Boy humiliated. Alamein later apologises, telling his son for the first time that he loves him, and refers to himself as "the incredible hulk", saying that sometimes he is a bad guy, but most of the time he is a good guy, and then Boy goes to retrieve the moneybag; only to find that it has been eaten by his goat. </p><p>Alamein and Rocky continue to dig for the hidden money, making Boy uneasy. Boy decides to make up for losing the money by leading Alamein to the marijuana crop owned by Dallas and Dynasty's father, and Alamein gathers the entire crop. The group is spotted running away by Dynasty, who stares at Boy, betrayed. Later, Alamein takes his gang out to celebrate at the local pub. Whilst waiting in the car with Boy, Rocky tells his brother that he likes their father, and wants to get to know him better. Another car then drives up, and the local gang gets out. Boy sees Dynasty sitting in the front seat with a black eye. The gang approaches Alamein and the Crazy Horses, confronting them over stealing their marijuana. At first, Boy imagines his dad successfully fighting off the gang in a Michael Jackson dance sequence, but reality comes back to him, and he sees the gang beat Alamein, Chuppa and Juju. While driving home, Alamein accidentally hits and kills Boy's goat. </p><p>The next day, Alamein is abandoned by his men, who steal the marijuana and the car. Enraged, Alamein trashes the house. Meanwhile, Boy visits his mother's grave, drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, and finally comes to terms with the fact that all of his happy, early memories of his father are make-believe, and Alamein was in fact not even there when Rocky was born. Meanwhile, Alamein sits in the barn, depressed that he has been unable to find his money. Rocky comes up to him and attempts to comfort him with his 'powers,' telling Alamein that he is sorry he killed his mother by being born. Just then, Boy comes in and scatters the shredded money at Alamein's feet, then begins hitting his father, screaming to know why he wasn't there when Boy and Rocky's mother died. Boy tells Alamein that they are nothing alike, then returns to the house to take care of his cousins. The next morning, the children clean up the house, their grandmother returns home, and Alamein is gone. </p><p>Boy tells Rocky that Alamein has gone to Japan to train as a <a href="/wiki/Samurai" title="Samurai">samurai</a>. He reconnects with his friends and apologises to Dynasty, then goes with Rocky to visit their mother's grave. The two boys find Alamein sitting there. Quietly, they join him, before Rocky asks, "How was Japan?" </p><p>The film ends with a mid-credits sequence of all the major characters dancing in a routine that is a mixture of <a href="/wiki/Haka" title="Haka">haka</a> and Michael Jackson's <a href="/wiki/Thriller_(song)" title="Thriller (song)">Thriller</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Boy_(2010_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/James_Rolleston" title="James Rolleston">James Rolleston</a> as Boy, a <a href="/wiki/M%C4%81ori_people" title="Māori people">Māori</a> kid who is a huge fan of Michael Jackson.

The project was accepted into the Sundance Writer's Lab in 2005, where Waititi workshopped it with script writers <a href="/wiki/Frank_Pierson" title="Frank Pierson">Frank Pierson</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Susan_Shilliday&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Susan Shilliday (page does not exist)">Susan Shilliday</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_Benioff" title="David Benioff">David Benioff</a> and <a href="/wiki/Naomi_Foner_Gyllenhaal" title="Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal">Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal</a>. Instead of making <i>Boy</i> his first film as a director, Waititi went on to make oddball romance <i><a href="/wiki/Eagle_vs_Shark" title="Eagle vs Shark">Eagle vs Shark</a></i>, and continued to develop the screenplay over the next three years. </p><p>Once the script was finally ready, there was a small window of opportunity in which to make it. Waititi dropped the title <i>Choice</i> because he felt it would not translate to international audiences, and the film was retitled <i>The Volcano</i>. "It was a big pain about this kid's potential to be bigger than he is or just blooms or explode," said Waititi. "So it was a character in the script as well. When we were shooting the film it was still called <i>Volcano</i> and during the editing. We ended up cutting a lot of the stuff out."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Waititi wanted to shoot the film in the place where he partly grew up, Waihau Bay. The story was set in summer, but it was challenging to shoot in the height of summer due to the area's popularity as a fishing and holiday destination.
