Race to Witch Mountain (US Version) DVD Region 1

Former professional wrestler Dwayne Johnson (aka "The Rock") makes family-friendly fare with director Andy Fickman’s (THE GAME PLAN) sci-fi adventure, RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN. Johnson plays Jack Bruno, a surly former felon who is trying to stay out of trouble by driving a cab in Las Vegas and who embarks upon the adventure of a lifetime when two teens appear in his taxi and need a ride to (seemingly) the middle of nowhere. He quickly realizes that the mysterious siblings, Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig), are far from average--especially when they are pursued by a villain wearing a high-tech suit of armor. With the help of Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino), the trio travels to Witch Mountain, a secret government outpost in the Nevada desert, with the hopes of evading their pursuers and sending Sara and Seth home--and saving Earth in the process. This latest installment in the Witch Mountain series comes more than 30 years after the release of the first two films, ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN and RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN. Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann, who played siblings Tia and Tony in the original films, appear in small but pivotal roles as a waitress and a sheriff. Johnson makes Bruno likable, even though the character barely likes himself. Robb and Ludwig are well cast as the earnest siblings who hold the fate of the world in their hands. Chase scenes abound and special effects that highlight the teens’ special powers are prevalent, but the film remains kid-friendly. Cheech Marin and Garry Marshall make brief cameo appearances.

Disney restarts their beloved Witch Mountain franchise with this family-friendly adventure. Dwayne Johnson (THE GAME PLAN) stars as a taxi driver who gets more than get bargained for when he picks up two teen runaways (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig). Not only does the pair possess supernatural powers, but they're also trying desperately to escape people who have made them their targets.

"What Johnson does here is provide a credible tough guy action hero in a non-threatening mode. He rules over chases, fights, explosions and an Ooze monster, yet never seems nasty, so the kids can feel safe around him." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 03/11/2009

"It plays, in fact, like a sci-fi action adventure that genre fans of all ages will recognize as such....More importantly, it's entertaining with a crafty mixture of action, humor and drama." - Kirk, Honeycutt (Hollywood Reporter Critic), Hollywood Reporter, 03/11/2009

"Robb is exceptional as Sara, delivering the stilted alien-speak lines as if she's been talking that way her entire life. And the chemistry between Robb and Johnson is just short of terrific -- you know Jack would protect Sara with his life and not because he has to." - Betsy, Sharkey (Los Angeles Times Film Critic), Los Angeles Times, 03/13/2009

"Johnson is one of showbiz's most engaging leading men....[He] is a sly delight in RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN..." - Jan, Stuart (Los Angeles Times Critic), Washington Post, 03/13/2009

"[A] full-throttle crowd-pleaser....RACE justifies its title by coming off as much more of a high-velocity action-adventure than its predecessors." - Joe, Leydon (Variety Critic), Variety, 03/11/2009
