Ten year old Dorothy Gale is carried away in a one-room cabin that she shares with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em by a tornado to the undiscovered Land of Oz.  Quite by accident, Dorothy unwittingly frees the short, rugged Munchkins from the cruel Witch of the East.  She is given the witch's Silver Shoes and is told by the Good Witch of the North that her best hope for returning home is to travel to the City of Emeralds to seek out a mysterious wizard, the Great Oz.  Along the way she rescues a forlorn Scarecrow and a brokenhearted Tin Woodman, and is joined by a deeply insecure Lion.  This unlikely band travels a perilous road to the Emerald City, where each of them is charged with first doing a favor for the Great Oz before he will help them.  They are sent to kill the Wicked Witch of the West, Oz's last remaining enemy.  But the Great Oz is a sham, and though these four unusual heroes have risked their lives carrying out his request, he is powerless to keep his promises. - This is not a remake, or a reimagining.  This is the FIRST faithful adaptation of the literary classic that brings Oz to life, in live action, as L. Frank Baum had envisioned it.
