One of the most beloved family films of all time, WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is adapted from the cherished children's book by Roald Dahl, who also wrote the screenplay.

Sweet, good-hearted Charlie Bucket lives in a one-room shack with his large family and dreams of one day visiting the wonderful Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. After winning a golden ticket, Charlie and his Grandpa Joe tour the factory with fellow and far less deserving winners Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, Mike Teevee and Augustus Gloop. After meeting the eccentric recluse Willy Wonka (played by the late, great Gene Wilder, a 1955 graduate of the University of Iowa's Theatre Arts program), Charlie and Grandpa Joe embark on a wondrous and surprising adventure, where Charlie's pure spirit guides them to a very happy ending.

Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, this scrumdiddlyumptious movie is a delightful confection that you'll enjoy again and again.
