A young boy (Barret Oliver) who's constantly harassed by schoolyard bullies holes up in an abandoned attic with an extraordinary book about an amazing universe, a land filled with rock-eating creatures, racing snails and flying dragons. Director Wolfgang Petersen's first English-language film was so successful that it spawned a couple of live-action sequels as well as an animated television series.
