Lucas Deranian poses as their uncle in order to get the kids into the clutches of Deranian's megalomaniacal boss, evil millionaire Aristotle Bolt, who wants to exploit them. Jason, a cynical widower, helps Tia and Tony escape to witch mountain, while at the same time Tia and Tony help Jason escape the pain of the loss of his wife.

What's left behind the scenes

The role in "Escape to Witch Mountain" was Rita Shaw's last acting role.
The film is based on the novel 'Escape to Witch Mountain' (1968) by Alexander Key.
Kim Richards' younger sister, Kyle Richards, played Tia in the flashbacks.
In recognition of their contributions, Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann, who played the roles of Tony and Tia, were given small roles in the remake released 34 years later. Kim Richards played a waitress in a roadside diner, while Ike Eisenmann played the sheriff of the town where the main characters arrive.
During the filming of a fight scene between the boys, the actor playing Truck accidentally swung the bat too hard and hit young Ike Eisenmann. For this reason, if you look closely at some scenes, you can see a greenish bruise under Tony's left eye.
