The "Jumanji" movie franchise, based on Chris Van Allsburg's children's books, follows individuals who become embroiled in a magical, dangerous game that transports them to a jungle-like world. The original 1995 film, starring Robin Williams, centers on a board game that unleashes jungle hazards on its players. The later films, including "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and "Jumanji: The Next Level," feature a video game version of the game, where players become avatars and must complete the game to escape.
