Older brother Walter (Hutcherson) and younger Danny (Bobo) are constantly at war with one another, bickering over the mediating voice of their long-suffering father (Robbins). When he leaves them in the dubious care of older sister Lisa (Stewart), who is sleeping upstairs, Danny discovers an old board game called Zathura stored in the basement. His excitement is lost on Walter, who has no time for such old, boring toys. Soon, however, the game becomes impossible to ignore, as the boys are transported into space, and one of them must win in order to make it home again. Each turn brings a new, often dangerous, surprise, and the boys are faced with a murderous robot, an explosive meteor shower, and lizard-like aliens, while poor Lisa is cryogenically frozen early in the game.
