Race to Witch Mountain

In a glittering yet unsettling Las Vegas, the ordinary buzz of neon lights is constantly punctuated by rumors of anomalous lights streaking across the sky. The city’s reputation as a playground for the extraordinary feels especially charged this season, as whispered reports of worldwide UFO sightings mingle with the everyday hustle of tourists and performers. This electric backdrop creates a world where the familiar and the uncanny coexist, setting a tone that is simultaneously playful, suspenseful, and tinged with a hint of cosmic mystery.

Jack Bruno is a cab driver who knows the city’s streets better than most, ferrying a steady stream of eccentric passengers and navigating the chaotic rhythm of his job with a practiced grin. When a routine shift lands him near a bustling UFO convention, his life takes an unexpected turn. Though he prefers to keep his head down and his engine humming, Jack’s innate curiosity and rugged pragmatism make him the perfect reluctant guide for anything that refuses to stay grounded.

Into his back seat stumble two extraordinary teenagers, Sara and Seth, whose powers hint at origins far beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Their urgent need to reach a distant, enigmatic place—Witch Mountain—propels them into an uneasy partnership with Jack, whose ordinary world suddenly feels too small to contain the enormity of their secret. The trio’s dynamic is a blend of cautious trust, reluctant camaraderie, and a shared sense that the stakes are far higher than any fare they could ever collect.

Behind them, shadowy government agents move like silent currents, seeking to harness the teens’ abilities for purposes unknown. This looming pursuit infuses the journey with tension, while the promise of answers at the mysterious mountain beckons like a beacon in the night sky. The film balances high‑octane chase sequences with moments of wonder, inviting the audience to wonder what lies beyond the next desert horizon and whether an unlikely alliance can outrun forces that would rather keep the truth hidden.
