JUMANJI features wild animals on the loose in a New England town. In 1969, young Alan Parrish discovers a buried box on a construction site. He takes it home and discovers a board game designed for those who want to escape. He starts playing it with Sarah. She rolls a number, and giant bats attack. He rolls a number and the board reads that he must go to the jungle until someone rolls a 5 or an 8. He then gets sucked into the game. He is not seen again until two children start playing the game in the present. Understanding that they must finish the game, they evoke a swarm of giant mosquitoes, a hungry lion, a band of vandalistic monkeys, and more. Each step brings more destruction to his home and the town until one player finishes the game restoring Alan and Sarah to their young selves in 1969.
