A taxi driver gets more than he bargained for when he picks up two teen runaways. Not only does the pair possess supernatural powers, but they’re also trying desperately to escape people who have made them their targets.
“Race to Witch Mountain” is a science fiction adventure film released in 2009, directed by Andy Fickman. The film is a modern reimagining of Disney’s “Witch Mountain” franchise, which includes the original 1975 film “Escape to Witch Mountain” and its sequel.
The story follows a Las Vegas cab driver named Jack Bruno, played by Dwayne Johnson (also known as The Rock), who encounters two teenagers with supernatural powers, Sara and Seth, portrayed by AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig, respectively. These teens are aliens who are on a mission to save their home planet, which is in danger of destruction. Together, they embark on a journey to find their spaceship, hidden at Witch Mountain, while evading government agents and other dangerous pursuers.
“Race to Witch Mountain” combines elements of action, adventure, and science fiction, with Dwayne Johnson’s character providing both humor and action as he helps the alien siblings navigate Earth’s challenges. The film received mixed reviews but was noted for its entertaining adventure and special effects, appealing primarily to a family audience.
