OZ – THE GREAT AND POWERFUL tells the story of Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuel Ambroise Diggs, who – with good reason – is simply called OZ and works as a showman, trickster, and magician in a small-time circus on a funfair in Kansas. The film tells how he recovers his own heart, a heart he has lost some day somewhere on his way. One day, an adventurous getaway in a hot-air balloon and a powerful tornado hurl OZ away to an unexplored country over the rainbow. Here he finds fantastic worlds, three fascinating witches, and a prophecy that will change everything … Great entertainment enters the silver screen in spring 2013: OZ – THE GREAT AND POWERFUL – the story of a man who overcomes his vanity and fears on an adventurous trip through a wonderful world of mystical creatures, magical locations and a touch of romance and who – in the end – becomes the Wizard of Oz.
