    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      There's an uncredited appearance by Kristen Stewart (in her first role) as a girl in the fountain line. Her mother, Jules Stewart, was the script supervisor for the TV movie.
    • Goofs
      The movie is titled "The Thirteenth Year", however, the time-line is inconsistent. When Cody is introduced, he's very clearly an infant, not a newborn, yet in the time-skip the words "13 years later" appear on the screen, implying that Cody would actually be several months older than 13. Also, the year after his 13th birthday would be his fourteenth year, not thirteenth.
