SYNOPSIS
In Columbia Pictures' heart-racing sci-fi adventure
Zathura, two squabbling brothers are propelled into
deepest, darkest space while playing a mysterious
game they discovered in the basement of their old
house.
On their fantastic journey, they are joined by a
stranded astronaut and must survive meteor
showers, hostile lizard-like aliens, a
rocket-propelled robot run amok and an
intergalactic spaceship battle.
But their greatest peril lies ahead. For unless they
finish the game and reach the planet Zathura, they
are doomed to be trapped in outer space forever.

acclaimed children's writer Chris Van Allsburg (The
Polar Express, Jumanji) with a screenplay by David
Koepp and John Kamps. The film stars Josh

Stewart and Oscar winner Tim Robbins. The film is

DAVID
Zathura is a smart and funny film that will entertain both kids and adults. May not be suitable for
children under seven, they may be frightened by the Zorgons. The Baby Boomers will relate to the old
board games when "high tech" was a wind-up gadget. Columbia has a hit on it's hands with Zathura.
