Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle 2017
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 American fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan, co-written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Scott Rosenberg, and Jeff Pinkner, and starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, and Bobby Cannavale. It is the third installment of the Jumanji franchise, after Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) and a standalone sequel to Jumanji (1995), based on the 1981 children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. The story focuses on a group of teenagers who come across Jumanji—now transformed into a video game—twenty-one years after the events of the 1995 film. They find themselves trapped in the game as a set of avatars, seeking to complete a quest alongside another player who has been trapped since 1996.
Principal photography began in Honolulu in September 2016 and ended in Atlanta in December, with the film containing notable references to the first film as a tribute to its lead actor Robin Williams. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle premiered at the Grand Rex in Paris on December 5, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 20, in RealD 3D, IMAX 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, and 4DX formats by Sony Pictures Releasing under its Columbia Pictures label. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who called it a "pleasant surprise" and praised the cast. The film grossed over $962 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2017.
A sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, was released on December 13, 2019 in the United States.
In Brantford, New Hampshire, in 1996, teenager Alex is given a board game called Jumanji by his father, who found it. Uninterested, Alex sets it aside, but finds it transformed into a video game cartridge after being entranced by the game's drum beats later that night. Opting to play the game, he finds himself sucked inside upon choosing a character. His disappearance results in his family's house to become known as 'Freak house' also due to its neglected appearance.
Twenty years later, in 2016, four Brantford High School students – Martha Kaply, Bethany Walker, Spencer Gilpin and Anthony "Fridge" Johnson – are sent to clean up the school's basement for a detention. While serving it, Fridge discovers Alex's discarded video-game system, which he and Spencer decide to play, encouraging the girls to join them. While picking playable characters, they are unable to select the first one, instead choosing the other four. Upon starting the game, each is sucked into Jumanji, landing within a jungle in the forms of their chosen game avatars – Spencer as muscular explorer and archaeologist Dr. Smolder Bravestone; Fridge as diminutive zoologist Franklin "Mouse" Finbar; Martha as commando and martial arts expert Ruby Roundhouse; and Bethany as male doctor of cartography and paleontology Professor Shelly Oberon.
While coming to terms with their situation, the group each find themselves with three marks denoting lives on their arms, with Bethany losing her first after being eaten by a hippopotamus. Spencer theorizes that if they lose all three, they will die in real life. The group encounter non-player character Nigel Billingsley, the game's guide, who provides them with the game's narrative and their characters' backstories. The group learn that their goal is to end a curse on Jumanji, brought about by corrupt archaeologist Professor Van Pelt, after stealing a magic jewel called "the Jaguar's Eye" from its shrine, gaining control of all the jungle's animals. Nigel hands Spencer the jewel, after stealing it from Van Pelt, instructing the group to return it to a statue at the shrine and call out "Jumanji", in order to "lift the curse" and leave the game, before driving off.
While coping with their avatars, their "weaknesses", Van Pelt's men, and, at one point, Spencer and Fridge's animosity towards one another, the group encounter Alex operating the fifth avatar – pilot Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough – who takes them to a jungle house built by Alan Parrish, the game's previous player. Upon realizing his identity, all are equally shocked upon learning how long he has been trapped in the game, Alex having believed himself to have been trapped for merely months. With a common goal, the group vow to help Alex return home with them. Dealing with further problems while heading for the shrine, the group co-ordinate to overcome the challenges given by the game, eventually reaching the shrine, where Van Pelt has them surrounded with a pack of jaguars and his own men. Working together, Fridge, Bethany, and Alex distract Van Pelt, while Spencer and Martha outmaneuver Van Pelt with the game's mechanics, returning the jewel to the statue. Upon calling out the game's name together, the group destroy Van Pelt and return home.
Returning to the school basement, the group find Alex is not with them, but are confused after leaving school to find the formerly dilapidated Vreeke home is now restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering. The group soon find themselves greeted by Alex, now an adult, who explains he returned to 1996, thus allowing him to lead a married life with children, with his elder daughter named after Bethany, who revived Alex with one of her lives in the game.
The four students become firm friends after their experiences in the game, with Bethany becoming a better person and Spencer starting a relationship with Martha. When the group hear the drumbeats of Jumanji coming from the game cartridge, Fridge crushes it with a bowling ball to prevent anyone else from playing it.
