Father Hood is a 1993 American adventure comedy-drama film directed by Darrell Roodt, from a screenplay by Scott Spencer (of Endless Love fame).

Two years after his children became wards of the state of California following his wife's death, petty criminal Jack Charles meets with his attorney to discuss his impending jail sentence for robbing an undercover policeman posing as a drug dealer.

He ignores her pleas to him to have her and her seven-year-old brother Eddie transferred to a different facility instead of the abusive, prison-like confines of Bigelow, planning to instead steal $250,000 from a drug dealer in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Escaping on foot, the fugitives board a speedboat hitched to another traveler’s pickup truck, and as they eat the owner's food, Kelly defensively denies to Jack that she was ever sexually abused in Bigelow.

Phoning Kathleen, Jack learns that his lawyer has negotiated a reduced two-year sentence if he agrees to return to Los Angeles and testify against Lazzaro’s corrupt foster care system.

The next day, Jack and Jerry drive onto a ferryboat to meet the drug dealers they intend to rob, hoping to garner enough money to start afresh in Belize.

Father Hood was shot in Los Angeles, California, Hoover Dam, Arizona-Nevada Border, Las Vegas, Nevada, Rio Medina, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
