BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA
SYNOPSIS
Based on the popular Newbery Award-winning novel,
BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA is a fantasy/adventure story
of friendship, family and the power of imagination
from the producers of “The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.” Jess
Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON) is an outsider at
school and even in his own family. Jess has trained
all summer to become the fastest kid in his middle
school class but his goal is unexpectedly thwarted
by the new girl in school, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA
ROBB) who competes in the “boys-only” race and
wins.
Despite their awkward introduction, the two
outsiders quickly become best friends. Leslie loves
to tell stories of fantasy and magic. Jess loves to
draw, but until he met Leslie it was something he
kept to himself. Leslie opens a new world of
imagination for Jess. Together they create the
secret kingdom of Terabithia, a magical place only
accessible by swinging on an old rope over a stream
in the woods near their homes. There, the friends
rule the kingdom, fight the Dark Master and his
creatures and plot against the school bullies.
Thanks to his friendship with Leslie, Jess is
changed for good. Brimming with fantastical
creatures, palaces and beautiful forests, the world
of Terabithia is brought to life by the amazing
Academy Award®-winning visual effects wizards at
Weta Digital (“The Lord of the Rings,” “King Kong”).
