What happens

The Adventure Club is a Canadian children's fantasy film, directed by Geoff Anderson and released in 2016. The film centers on Ricky, Bill and Sandy, three young kids who discover a magic box that grants wishes, and must protect it from Langley (Billy Zane), a greedy businessman who wants it to help him attain his dream of purchasing and redeveloping the local science centre. The film's cast also includes Robin Dunne, Gabrielle Miller, Lorne Cardinal and Kim Coates. The screenplay was written by Dunne and Fred Ewanuick, and the film was produced in Saskatchewan in the fall of 2015.
