Tom Hanks stars in this fantasy drama that tells the story of four college friends and the imaginary world that slowly consumes them all. When Robbie Wheeling (Hanks) starts the new academic year at college, he quickly makes friends with Kate, Daniel and Jay Jay, three fellow students with one common interest Monsters & Mazes. A game of magic, myth and mystical powers, the four players decide to take the roleplay into the real world but quickly find themselves drawn deeper into the gameplay until players and characters are barley distinguishable from each other.

DO NOT BUY THIS RUBBISH RELEASE!
My wife went on about this film she had seen in the 1980's and always told me that she would like to see it again. Knowing that the great Tom Hanks was in it made me curious and so I was thrilled when I saw that it was finally being released. To cut a long story short I bought it for her as a secret present and when a few of us gathered around to watch it it was UNBEARABLE due to its absolute appallimg picture and sound. This can be regarded as a 3rd Generation pan and scan full screen poor sound copy. Absoloutely rubbish. It left me embarrassed!!! Beware that you too do not have the same experience. The company who have released such a poor standard dvd should be ashamed! They have taken a vhs videoed copy off the TV and have put it out in a good front cover package. The reverse side shows the poor quality in the caption stills of the movie. I was going to send it back and get my money back but as I had bought it as a gift for someone I couldn't. Do not get mugged, stay away, you have been warned!!!
One of The Worst Movies Ever!
Utterly awful movie, totally misrepresenting role-playing games and pandering to the misguided, ill-informed, right-wing, anti-intellectuals who rail against everything they don't understand. Also poor quality transfer and mediocre sound mean this film has NOTHING going for it. Avoid at all costs!!!
