Based on the popular Newbery Award-winning novel, 'Bridge to
Terabithia' is a fantasy/adventure story of friendship, family and
the power of imagination from the producers of 'The Chronicles Of
Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.' Jess Aarons(Josh
Hutcherson) is an outsider at school and even in his own family.
Jess has trained all summer to become the fastest kid in his middle
school class but his goal is unexpectedly thwarted by the new girl
in school, Leslie Burke (Annasophia Robb) who competes in the "boys
only" race and wins.
Despite their awkward introduction, the two outsiders quickly
become best friends. Leslie loves to tell stories of fantasy and
magic. Jess loves to draw, but until he met Leslie it was something
he kept to himself. Leslie opens a new world of imagination for
Jess. Together they create the secret kingdom of Terabithia, a
magical place only accessible by swinging on an old rope over a
stream in the woods near their homes. There, the friends rule the
kingdom, fight the Dark Master and his creatures and plot against
the school bullies. Thanks to his friendship with Leslie, Jess is
changed for good. Brimming with fantastical creatures, palaces and
beautiful forests, the world of Terabithia is brought to life by
the amazing Academy Award®-winning visual effects wizards at Weta
Digital ('The Lord of the Rings,' 'King Kong').
