Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival!  Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination.  To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black).  Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Jack Black has starred in several Game-to-screen adaptations including Jumanji: The Next Level, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Borderlands. His portfolio of starring in movies featuring games earns him a unique spot in the film industry. Minecraft The Movie aims to build on the game’s charisma which is to allow players to build and imagine anything they want in the fantasy universe.
