Jumanji

''Jumanji'' is a 1995 American dark fantasy adventure film directed by Joe Johnston from a screenplay by Jonathan Hensleigh, Greg Taylor, and Jim Strain, based on the 1981 children's picture book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. The film is the first installment in the ''Jumanji'' film series and stars Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, David Alan Grier, Bonnie Hunt, Jonathan Hyde, and Bebe Neuwirth. The story centers on a supernatural board game that releases jungle–based hazards on its players with every turn they take.

''Jumanji'' was released on December 15, 1995, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was a box–office success, grossing $263 million worldwide on a budget of approximately $65 million. It was the tenth–highest–grossing film of 1995.

The film spawned an animated television series that aired from 1996 to 1999, and was followed by a spin–off film, ''Zathura: A Space Adventure'' (2005), and two indirect sequels, ''Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle'' (2017) and ''Jumanji: The Next Level'' (2019). Provided by Wikipedia
