Kazaam
Brief Synopsis
Read More
Max Conner's world is in a serious tailspin. He's a skeptical young city kid who doesn't believe in anything that can't be easily explained. And his life is filled with one unexplainable event after another. However, everything changes one afternoon when he's chased by a gang of bullies through a condemned warehouse. There, while evading these tough guys, he accidentally knocks over a boom box--out from which emerges a huge and powerful 3,000-year-old genie named Kazaam. After a series of adventures together, Max and Kazaam become an inseparable--albeit unlikely--team. Though Kazaam's a bit irritated about being disturbed from the comfort of his other-worldly home, he soon discovers some of the pleasures of being conjured to the 20th century. He becomes a rap music superstar, falls in love, and just when Max needs him the most, Kazaam calls upon all the powers at his disposal to help his new friend out of some big trouble.
