Movie Description
A magical board game serves as a door to another dimension in this adventure fantasy based on Chris Van Allsburg's award-winning children's book. When a pair of orphans discover the game and start playing it they unwittingly unleash a man (Robin Williams) who's been trapped inside--as well as an array of stampeding jungle animals, brought vividly to the screen courtesy of ILM's computer-generated special effects. Directed by Joe Johnston (THE ROCKETEER, JURASSIC PARK III.)
Synopsis
In this deliciously scary fantasy adapted from Chris Van Allsburg's children's book, a jungle-themed board game with supernatural powers creates havoc in a New England town.
Young Alan Parrish discovers the game in 1969 and brings it home, where he plays it with his friend, Sarah Whittle. However, after a couple of rolls of the dice, Alan gets sucked into the game's jungle world -- much to the horror of him and his friend.
Twenty-six years later, two more kids -- Judy Shepherd and her brother, Peter -- find the game after moving with their aunt into the old estate where Alan had once lived. When they begin to play, they unwittingly summon up jungle animals, giant insects, and a strange wild man, who they soon learn is Alan.
He explains to the children that he's been trapped inside the game's jungle, and only by finishing the game he started can things return to normal.
However, to do this, he and the children must first track down Sarah. Once she reluctantly agrees to help, they find themselves facing the adventure of their lives.
