Writer and director
Robert Rodriguez returns to the
family-friendly
adventure of his
Spy Kids movies with this three-dimensional
action opus.
Max (
Cayden Boyd) is a ten-year-old boy who doesn't get along with his peers and is constantly bullied at school. But
Max has an active imagination, and he has a pair of very special imaginary playmates --
Shark Boy (
Taylor Lautner), a human-shark half-breed cared for by a pack of great whites, and
Lava Girl (
Taylor Dooley), a girl with superpowers who can conjure heat and fire at will.
Max may be a creative boy, but what he doesn't know is that
Shark Boy and
Lava Girl really do exist, and he is recruited to help them as they do battle against
Mr. Electricity, a super-villain determined to deprive children of their sleep. Shot and originally released in the 3-D format,
The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl also stars
David Arquette and
Kristin Davis as
Max's parents, and
George Lopez as a schoolteacher; writer and director
Rodriguez wrote the film's story in collaboration with his then seven-year-old son,
Racer Rodriguez.
