Synopsis
Peter Banning is a forty years old lawyer who spends more time at work than with his wife Moira and their children Jack and Maggie. The Bannings go to London to visit Moira’s grandmother, Wendy Darling, who helped Peter to find a family when he was a young orphan. While Peter and Moira attend a ceremony to celebrate Wendy’s charity work for orphans, a mysterious presence kidnaps Jack and Maggie. Wendy informs Peter that he is actually Peter Pan, that he lost his memories of his true identity and Neverland when he fell in love with her and decided to stay in London many years ago, and that his old enemy, the wicked Captain Hook, is back and has abducted his children to revenge. At night, Peter meets Tinker Bell, who leads him in flight to Neverland. Helped by the Lost Boys, Peter will face Captain Hook.
