Plot summary
Eight-year-old Sean Donovan watches his parents attacked in a carjacking attempt; his father Terry is knocked out and his mother is killed. Terry moves the family to a new neighborhood. Ten years on, Sean is a top student who keeps to himself and volunteers at the local precinct, where he studies criminal photographs, hoping to find his mother's killer. He trains in self-defense, boxes, and after dark carries batons, brass knuckles and knives, tracking violent criminals from police records. Teresa Ames, newly promoted to the homicide division, meets Sean when he helps her change a flat tire, and he tells her about his past.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Cinematographer Chris LaVasseur shot Boy Wonder on a RED One camera, then used a digital intermediate to tweak the colors as director Michael Morrissey wanted. Morrissey had never worked with a RED One before and was initially skeptical because the colors looked too saturated, until LaVasseur demonstrated the problem could easily be corrected.
