ActionAdventureAnimationComedyDramaFamilyFantasySci-Fi97 min

When Pitch, an evil spirit bent on spreading fear, threatens children’s dreams across the world, the immortal Guardians are forced to join forces. Chris Pine is Jack Frost, a drifting outsider pulled into a group that includes Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the silent Sandman. Opposing them is Jude Law’s Pitch, who turns nightmares into a weapon against belief and imagination. The film reworks familiar childhood figures into a fantasy adventure, with the Guardians racing to stop darkness from taking hold before children everywhere stop believing in them.
