Four misfits - Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black).

For over a decade, the video game Minecraft has allowed players to stretch the limits of their creativity and now Glendale-born Jared Hess (writer and director of the iconic movie "Napoleon Dynamite") has tested his creative limits with "A Minecraft Movie."

Minecraft is certainly an interesting choice when it comes to deciding on a video game to adapt into a feature film. This particular game has no storyline and much like The Sims, the world, characters and gameplay are customizable by the player.
