Little Kevin (Craig Warnock) lives in a stultifying suburb ruled by consumerist desire and mediocrity. But adventure enters his life with a bang—literally—when a troupe of mischievous dwarves picks him up for a whirlwind journey across space, time and imagination as they flee their master with a stolen map in tow. Kevin and his new friends encounter everyone from Agamemnon (Sean Connery) to the legendary Robin Hood (John Cleese) to Napoleon (Ian Holm), but no adventure is more memorable than a showdown against the master of all evil, and no danger more horrifying than Kevin’s impending confrontation with his prosaic home world upon his maturation.
