Plot Summary

• In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling
  (Rachel Hurd-Wood) mesmerizes her brothers every
  night with bedtime tales of swordplay,
  swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook
  (Jason Issacs). But the children become the
  heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan
  (Jeremy Sumpter) flies into their nursery one
  night and leads them over moonlit rooftops
  through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles
  of Never Land where an ongoing war with the evil
  Pirate Captain Hook is taking place. Wendy and
  her brothers join Peter and the Lost Boys in an
  exhilarating life free of grown-up rules
  while also facing the inevitable showdown with
  Hook and his bloodthirsty pirates.
