"Great fun, with Wilder for once giving an impeccably controlled performance as the factory's bizarre owner." -Time Out

"That rare breed: an imaginative live-action kid's film that engages and delights adults." -MSN.com

"So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you."

Reclusive candyman Willy Wonka is ready to open the doors of his magical factory--cost of admission: one golden ticket. Hidden in the wrapping of his famous candy bars, children across the world clamor for one of just five tickets, and as the winners trickle in, no one is more surprised than poor boy Charlie Bucket. But what happens when Wonka's "world of pure imagination" is more than what they bargained for? Scripted by Roald Dahl (adapting his own book), and starring University of Iowa graduate Gene Wilder in his most iconic role.
