A Minecraft Movie Brings the Blocky Game to Live Action
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures bring Minecraft to the big screen with its first live-action adaptation. Directed by Jared Hess (Nacho Libre), the film stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black, along with Emma Myers (Wednesday), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Sebastian Hansen (Just Mercy), and Jennifer Coolidge.
A Live-Action Adventure in the Minecraft Universe
The story follows four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks)—dealing with everyday struggles when they’re pulled into the Minecraft Overworld through a mysterious portal. This blocky world runs on imagination, and to get home, they must learn to survive and defend it from Piglins, Zombies, and other dangers. They team up with Steve (Black), an expert crafter, to complete their quest. Along the way, they’ll rediscover their creativity—the key to thriving both in Minecraft and the real world.
