Race To Witch Mountain

A fun race for those who remember the first trip to Witch Mountain and for those who are making the trip for the first time.

When an extra-terrestrial object entering Earth’s atmosphere changed course a call to arms went out and the hunt began. Unbeknownst to Jack Bruno, a not-so-simple cab driver, the two kids seeking a ride are far more than they appear and the men chasing after the cab aren’t coming for him. They mean us no harm but if they do not find what they seek, retrieve their space craft and get home – two worlds are doomed! But, short-sighted soldiers and nefarious criminals aren’t the only people chasing after these two kids... the real enemy is far more dangerous!

Simply written and directed, the charm of this film is in the performances – and the nostalgia! Fans of the classic Witch Mountain films will recognize Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann in their brief but pivotal roles.
