SUMMARY
Twelve-year
old Alan Parrish finds "Jumanji", a board game,
in 1969. He and Sarah Whittle play it that night. When
a quote says "In the jungle you must wait, til the
dice roll 5 or 8" Alan is suddenly pulled into the
game. Twenty-six years later, two more 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.
