Subscribe FreeWalter (Hutcherson) doesn't have much time for his younger brother Danny (Bobo), and the two are always competing for their dad's (Robbins) attention. When Dad has to go out one Saturday, he leaves the boys with their sister Lisa (Stewart) and tells them to behave. Danny finds a mysterious space adventure boardgame called "Zathura" in the basement and asks Walter to play it with him. And before you know it, the words interactive game take on a whole new meaning when the boys, Lisa, and their home all end up traveling in space amongst robots and Zorgons and astronauts (Shepard).
