Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt star in this fantasy adventure directed by Joe Johnston. When Judy and Peter Shepherd (Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce) move into a new house with their mother Nora (Bebe Neuwirth), they discover a mysterious board game in the attic. But when they begin to play, with each move they release wild animals along with Alan Parrish (Williams), a grown man who has been trapped inside the game since he was 12-years-old.
Together they must seek out Alan's friend Sarah (Hunt) and re-enter the game in order to send back all of the wild beasts.
