Summary

In 1969, twelve-year old Alan Parrish finds a board game called Jumanji, and he and Sarah Whittle play it that night. When the game board reads "In the jungle you must wait until the dice read five or eight," Alan is suddenly pulled into the game. Twenty-six years later, the Shepherd kids find this game. One of them rolls a 5 and Alan Parrish comes back, but he is soon forced to find Sarah and finish the game.
