Synopsis:
In the brand new adventure Jumanji, the tables are turned as four teenagers are sucked into the world of Jumanji.
When four high-school kids discover an old video game console with a game theyâve never heard of â Jumanji â they are immediately drawn into the gameâs jungle setting, literally becoming the avatars they chose: gamer Spencer becomes a brawny adventurer (Dwayne Johnson); football jock Fridge loses (in his words) âthe top two feet of his bodyâ and becomes an Einstein (Kevin Hart); popular girl Bethany becomes a middle-aged male professor (Jack Black); and wallflower Martha becomes a badass warrior (Karen Gillan). What they discover is that you donât just play Jumanji â you must survive it. To beat the game and return to the real world, theyâll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves â or theyâll be stuck in the game foreverâŠ
Jumanji has a December 22, 2017 release directed by Jake Kasdan also starring Nick Jonas and Bobby Cannavale.
