Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Wizard”
The Wizard is a 1989 American adventure-comedy film directed by Todd Holland and starring Fred Savage, Luke Edwards, Jenny Lewis, Beau Bridges, and Christian Slater.
The film follows two brothers, Jimmy (Luke Edwards) and Corey (Fred Savage), who are sent to live with their estranged father (Beau Bridges) in California. While there, Jimmy discovers that he is a gifted video game player and is soon recruited to compete in a nationwide video game tournament. The brothers enlist the help of a mysterious drifter, known as the Wizard (Christian Slater), to help them get to the tournament on time. Along the way, the trio must face off against a variety of obstacles, including a rival video game player, a group of bullies, and a sleazy game show host.
The film culminates in a thrilling showdown at the tournament, where Jimmy and Corey must prove that they can outplay the Wizard in order to win the grand prize. With the help of their newfound friend, the brothers learn the importance of teamwork and friendship as they battle their way to the top.
