Plot.
Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), based on Rudyard Kipling's timeless
stories and inspired by Disney's classic animated film, The Jungle Book is a
live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who's
been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he's no longer welcome in
the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the
scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon
the only home he's ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of
self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern-mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben
Kingsley) and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the
way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don't exactly have his best
interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python
whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotises the man-cub, and the smooth-talking
King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into
giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower ie fire
