Overview

The scrumdiddlyumptious Roald Dahl’s children’s book took minor tweaks when adapted to film, which remains about a sweet boy named Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) from a poor family who dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside a chocolate bar. Holders of the coveted golden tickets are granted admittance to the eccentric and magical chocolate factory run by the reclusive Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder). One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children leaving only one for Charlie to find to see if he can get a glimpse into where no speck of light is showing even if danger might be growing.
