ABSTRACT
Ten-year old Walter and six-year old brother Danny are unhappy siblings, struggling through life with older sister Lisa and their divorced father. When Dad is called into work and Lisa, left in charge, locks herself upstairs, it's up to the brothers to somehow manage to sort out their differences. Danny discovers and begins playing an old mechanical intergalactic board game called Zathura after he is loaded into a dumbwaiter by an angry Walter, forced to keep playing to find a way back to Earth when the Jumanji-esque game launches their house into space.
