"Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three…” 

Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tells the story of the world-famous Willy Wonka, who is opening the gates to his mysterious factory for the first time in decades…but only to a lucky few. Charlie Bucket, an imaginative boy with a knack for making something out of nothing, dreams of acquiring a golden ticket to tour the over-the top-chocolate factory and can't believe his luck when it actually happens. Fellow contest winners: the gluttonous German, Augustus Gloop; Daddy’s spoiled rotten princess, Veruca Salt; chewing gum celebrity, Violet Beauregarde; and over-amped computer hacker, Mike Teavee, have no idea what they’re getting themselves into, as they each learn lessons about selfishness and greed from Wonka, who appears more and more dangerous the longer the tour continues.
