Discovering Jumanji in the attic, Judy and Peter begin playing it. Twenty-six years later, Judy and Peter Shepherd move into the now-vacant Parrish mansion with their aunt Nora after their parents died in an accident on a ski trip in Canada the winter before. Shortly after, a swarm of bats appears and chases Sarah out of the mansion. After Alan inadvertently rolls a five, a message tells him to wait in a jungle until someone rolls a five or eight, and he is sucked into the game. With each dice roll, the game piece moves by itself, and a cryptic message describing the roll's outcome appears in the crystal ball at the center of the board. Alan shows her Jumanji and invites her to play. That night, after arguing with Sam about attending a boarding school, Alan plans to run away, but his friend, Sarah Whittle, returns his bicycle. He finds a board game called Jumanji, which was buried 100 years earlier, and brings it home. After the bullies attack Alan and steal his bicycle, Alan follows the sound of tribal drumbeats to a construction site. Alan misplaces the shoe and damages a conveyor belt, but Carl takes responsibility and loses his job. He meets his friend, Carl Bentley, who reveals a new shoe prototype he made himself. One day, he escapes a group of bullies and retreats to Sam's shoe factory. In 1969, Alan Parrish lives with his parents, Sam and Carol, in Brantford, New Hampshire. The film spawned an animated television series, which aired from 1996 to 1999, and was followed by a spin-off film, Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005), and two indirect sequels, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019). It was the tenth-highest-grossing film of 1995.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was a box-office success, grossing $263 million worldwide on a budget of approximately $65 million. Jumanji was released on December 15, 1995, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The story centers on a supernatural board game that releases jungle-based hazards upon its players with every turn they take. It stars Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, David Alan Grier, Bonnie Hunt, Jonathan Hyde, and Bebe Neuwirth.
The film is the first installment in the Jumanji film series. Jumanji is a 1995 American urban fantasy adventure film directed by Joe Johnston from a screenplay by Jonathan Hensleigh, Greg Taylor, and Jim Strain, based on the 1981 children's picture book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg.
