Based on the 2011 video game, welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft.

Directed by Jared Hess, the story follows the premise that creativity is essential to one’s survival!

Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, played by Jason Momoa, Henry, played by Sebastian Eugene Hansen, Natalie, played by Emma Myers, and Dawn, played by Danielle 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 return 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, played by Jack Black. Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the skills they need to thrive in the real world.
