What happens

Jumanji is a 1995 American 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 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 unleashes jungle-based hazards on its players with every turn they take. The film was produced by Interscope Communications and Golden Mean Productions, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing through its TriStar Pictures label. Jumanji premiered on December 10, 1995, in Culver City, California, and went into general release on December 15. 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 sequels, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), with a third sequel, Jumanji: Open World, set to be released in 2026.
