Overview

The story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend–and gets the chance to become a legend himself.

About the Film

Jack the Giant Slayer is a 2013 American fantasy adventure directed by Bryan Singer, based on the fairy tales Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack the Giant Killer. Nicholas Hoult stars as Jack, a young farmhand who accidentally opens a gateway between the human realm and a land of giants in the sky when magic beans create an enormous beanstalk that lifts his house into the clouds. When Princess Isabelle, played by Eleanor Tomlinson, is taken into the giant realm, Jack joins a rescue expedition led by the king's guard.

The film featured impressive visual effects rendering enormous, grotesque giants with distinct personalities, and the beanstalk itself was a spectacular creation. Ewan McGregor appeared as the expedition's captain. Jack the Giant Slayer earned $197 million worldwide on a $195 million budget, a significant commercial loss.
