🌟 About Hook 🌟
Hook is a heartwarming fantasy adventure that reimagines the classic story of Peter Pan. Peter Banning, played by Robin Williams, is a successful but work-obsessed lawyer who has forgotten his magical childhood as Peter Pan. When Captain Hook, played by Dustin Hoffman, kidnaps his children and takes them to Neverland, Peter must rediscover his imagination, courage, and sense of adventure to save his family.
Filled with humor, action, memorable characters, and a powerful message about family and never losing your inner child, Hook is a beloved family classic for all ages.
