Where the Wild Things Are: The IMAX Experience

Innovative director Spike Jonze collaborates with celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the most beloved books of all time, Where the Wild Things Are, a story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in, to the big screen. The film tells the story of Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions.
