WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

An orphan boy named Peter (Miller) is suddenly whisked away from London to the magical world of Neverland, which is under the command of the nefarious pirate Blackbeard (Jackman). Soon escaping his captors, Peter teams up with a lowly worker named Hook (Hedlund) and the tribe princess Tiger Lily (Mara) as he slowly discovers his destiny – to become the legend we all know today as Peter Pan…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Offering an alternative origin story for JM Barrie’s most famous creation, Pan offers wondrous visuals by director Joe Wright and a magical sense of adventure in the place we all know as Neverland (that is, when you get past the uncomfortable white-washing of its Native American characters).
