The Wizard is a 1989 adventure film starring Fred Savage, Luke Edwards and Jenny Lewis.
Plot
The film follows three children as they travel to California so the youngest, who has a condition that makes him emotionally withdrawn, can compete to win $50,000 in Video Armaggedon at Universal Studios Hollywood. The movie was North America's introduction to what would become one of the best-selling video games of all time, Super Mario Bros. 3, since Mario is seen on the poster.
