In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jeremy Sumpter was the first boy ever cast as Peter Pan on film; all previous versions used women.
This version leans hard into the original novel's dark undertones—Hook's obsession with 'good form' mirrors British class anxiety, and Peter's memory loss suggests trauma, not magic.
