What is “A Minecraft Movie” about?

Credits: Warner Bros Discovery

Emma Myers, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Danielle Brooks star alongside Jason Momoa in A Minecraft Movie. The trailer shows four people pulled into the Minecraft world. Jack Black plays Steve, the silent main character of the game. In the film, Steve helps the group escape the Minecraft world. Jared Hess, known for Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, is the director. It also features Kate McKinnon, Jermaine Clement, and Jennifer Coolidge.

The film’s official synopsis reads: “Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”

The film is set for release in 2025, and fans are eager to see this unique take on Minecraft.
