Directed by Jon Favreau, The Jungle Book is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves.
Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when scary tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) decides that humans are a threat. Urged to leave the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli starts a journey of self-discovery, guided by his panther friend Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) and the free-spirited bear Baloo (Bill Murray).
Along the way, Mowgli meets jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice hypnotises the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (Christopher Walken), who tries to make Mowgli give up the secret to the deadly “red flower” of fire.
Enjoy the wild adventure when it swings into theatres in 3D on April 13.
