Our take on Oz the Great and Powerful

Sam Raimi's 2013 fantasy imagines how the Wizard of Oz first arrived in that magical land. Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus illusionist and con man, is swept from Kansas into the Land of Oz, where its inhabitants mistake him for the great wizard of prophecy destined to save them from evil. A charlatan suddenly cast as a savior, he must decide what kind of man he'll become. Blending adventure, family and fantasy, it's a bright, effects-rich origin story built for wide-eyed spectacle and warm-hearted uplift. It suits families and viewers who love lush, imaginative worlds and a redemption arc, especially anyone fond of the classic Oz mythology.
