About the film

Directed and co-written by visionary filmmaker Spike Jonez, with a script by award-winning author Dave Eggers, Where The Wild Things Are beautifully brings to life children author Maurice Sendak’s amazing world of fantasy wherein Max, a troubled young boy, gets sent to his room without dinner and ends up being crowned king of an island of misunderstood monsters known as “The Wild Things”.
