Synopsis

In the movie 'Pan', a young orphan named Peter is whisked away to the magical world of Neverland, where he discovers he is destined to become Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up. He must fight against the villainous pirate Blackbeard with the help of new-found ally James Hook.

Why Watch It
Joe Wright's lavish prequel reimagines Peter Pan's origin with stunning production design and kinetic energy that celebrates the wonder of flight and adventure. Hugh Jackman's deliciously theatrical turn as the villain anchors this visually audacious spectacle, even as the film swings wildly between whimsy and darker ambitions. Whether it lands depends on your tolerance for maximalist fantasy, but the ambition itself is refreshingly uncynical.
