Based on Roald Dahl's book "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory," penniless, but good-hearted young Charlie Bucket (Ostrum) enters into a magical world when he wins one of five "Golden Tickets" to visit the mysterious chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy Wonka (Wilder) and run by his capable crew of Oompa-Loompas. Once behind the gates, a cast of characters, including Veruca Salt, Agustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teevee, join Charlie and his feisty Grandpa Joe (Albertson) for a journey to discover that a kind heart is a finer possession than a sweet tooth.
