Product Description:
A LAS VEGAS CABBIE ENLISTS THE HELP OF A UFO EXPERT TO PROTECT TWO SIBLINGS WITH PARANORMAL POWERS FROM THE CLUTCHES OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS TO USE THE KIDS FOR THEIR NEFARIOUS PLANS.
Amazon.com:
Loosely based on Alexander Key's novel Escape to Witch Mountain, Race to Witch Mountain is not so much a remake of the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain as an entirely new film based on some key plot points from the former film. When two innocent-looking teens appear in Jack Bruno's (Dwayne Johnson) cab and tell him that "we must travel in that direction," Jack thinks it's a bit strange, but shrugs it off and starts driving. Soon they're being followed and chased off the road, but is it Jack's past catching up with him or something much larger? Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) reluctantly confess that they are aliens from another planet, but Jack refuses to accept their statement until Sara starts moving things with her mind and Seth slips through the body of the car and deflects the SUV that's pursuing them. Sara and Seth tell Jack that they must recover their crashed spaceship in order to save earth from being taken over by aliens, so Jack takes them to see Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino); a scientist who he met by chance and who believes in the possible existence of extra-terrestrials. While the four are initially wary of one another, Dr. Friedman provides some valuable contacts and they begin trusting one another out of sheer necessity. Soon they're battling secret government agencies, heavily armed personnel, and even a cybernetic Siphon (that looks a lot like a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica) in a desperate attempt to gain access to the heavily fortified Witch Mountain and the crashed spacecraft. Action-packed car chases dominate the film (a bit excessively, in this reviewer's opinion), but the acting and chemistry between actors is good as is the suspense and intrigue. Rated PG due to sequences of action and violence, frightening and dangerous situations, and some thematic elements. (Ages 9 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

I'm sure the first question I'll get from anyone who knows me is, "Why did you rent this?"
Um.....
Well.....
Honestly?
I was bored.
I'll make it short.
It's a Disney/action movie so a few things can be expected.
We have the two annoying kids who can't act? Check.
Dwane Johnson (Aka "The Rock") body slamming, pile driving, and cloths lining multiple aliens? Check, check, check.
Shameless self promotion of Disney's own Myley Cyrus via soundtrack. ... Read More

I loved the film,and the stars were great..BUT..this is a little much for a disney film..way too much violence..but concidering Dwayne Johnson in it and thats his only way of acting.I sould have seen it coming.this was like watching X-Files,I loved the first two movies,but this one rates up thier with the Terminator.in my opinion this story could have told a hole lot better..this movie should be rated PG-14 for extreme violence.all in all the movie was very excieting up to the end.I recommed that parents ...

I did not really know anything about this movie until I saw it. It is a children's movie, but having the Rock in it, makes it better for adults. There is some great car chases, fights and adventure. It's a nice story for the whole family.

Race to Witch Mountain is a good fun filled-family movie which features the Rock (his old wrestling name), Bruno who takes two aliens (who have morphed into children) to a lonely place in the desert and receives a lot of money for his troubles - a great tip! Bruno, the dejected, but physically strong taxi driver has a conscious kicks and goes to investigate after he hears loud bangs inside the rickety old house and saves then teens from the rebel army alien!
The FBI are aware of the crashed ... Read More

Dwayne Johnson stars as Jack Bruno, a goodhearted, ex-con cab driver living in Las Vegas and still harassed by remnants of his criminal past. Jack's world is suddenly turned upside down one day when he picks up two young teens (Alexander Ludwig and the ever increasingly lovely AnnaSophia Robb) desperately trying to get to a location seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Jack soon discovers the pair are aliens in a race against time and the government to try to save our world and their own. They eventually enlist ... Read More
