| '''''Dream On The Run''''' is a Canadian crime film that was aired on Global TV in 1977, written, directed and starring John Edwards and Nicky Fylan, and produced by Ken Gord. The movie was a low-budget project backed by the now defunct ''Circle Productions'', formerly based in Scarborough, Ontario. The plot follows an ex-con who is struggling to go straight after getting out of prison. While promotional material, production stills and vinyl pressings of the soundtrack exist, the film itself is currently lost. | | '''Digitized''' |

| When Jay gets out after several years in prison, the only person to greet him is Mickey, a smalltime operator who has always skirted the edges of the law. Jay wants to go straight. But this time, doors close in his face. Once a con, always a con, or so it would seem.

| Inevitably, Jay finds himself in the midst of a bad deal, guilty of another crime and chased by the loan shark who financed the entire operation.

| Desperation boils over to the point where the man who wanted to go straight finds himself surrounded by the police, as he stands over two dead bodies.”</blockquote>
