A group of four unlikely types rob a small town bank at gunpoint. They escape south out of town in an SUV, barreling towards the border through flat desert scenery. Seated behind them are their hostages, a heavy-set woman, Beverly (Rani Masson,) and Michael (Peter Quartaroli,) whose hands are bound with rip ties and mouths taped shut. Beverly looks panicked and afraid for her life but Michael appears stoic and calm. The SUV suddenly jerks and sputters. All attention in the vehicle goes to Mara (Jennifer Baeseman,) the driver, but there’s nothing that she can do. The SUV dies in the middle of the forest on a stretch of seemingly deserted highway. A minivan is parked on the road next to where their SUV has died. They have to keep moving to avoid the police so the group decides to steal it. It’s an older model minivan, late 80s. What they find inside could be from a museum about the 80s. Everything seems perfectly preserved. But where are the owners? Mara tries to start the van but nothing happens. Victor (David Newham) checks under the hood. Everything appears brand new and in working order. The gas tank registers full. So why doesn’t it work? They know the police must be tracking them and realize they have to get out of here. They hope for a car to come by before the police. Steven (Robert Anthony Peters) hears voices calling from the nearby woods. Then the others begin hearing them too. Lisa (Anna Laveria May) is alone when she recognizes a voice that turns her blood cold. She races through the woods to get back to the road. Victor rummages through the minivan having great fun with all the bits of nostalgia when he hears girl’s laughter coming from the woods. Steven retrieves the portable GPS navigator from the SUV. He can’t get it to work. Michael gives it a try. It can’t be right because according to the device they should be in the middle of the desert. They should have reached the border by now. Why are they in the middle of the woods and why don’t they hear the sound of any animals? Where are they? What are those voices and symbols? And why are they so …isolated?

The Great Zamboni (Ben Kingsley) is a flamboyant illusionist whose pretty wife and assistant (Carmen Moore) inexplicably disappeared during a televised magic act. More than a decade later, Zamboni, now a taciturn eccentric, resides in a small Pacific Northwest town and occasionally frightens the local children by walking around with a sleek black jaguar on a leash. The foreboding, gone-to-seed gothic mansion where he lives is aptly nicknamed "the spooky house" by the same local kids. A few plucky youngsters dare to enter Zamboni's abode one evening while seeking a missing pet goat. Zamboni easily scares most of the intruders, but Max (Matt Weinberg), who recently lost his parents, is more fascinated than frightened. Indeed, despite Zamboni's best efforts to remain gruffly unapproachable, Max makes repeated visits to the spooky house, hoping to learn more about magic from the master magician. During the magic lessons, the two become friends, but when Max reveals he's orphanage-bound, and Zamboni confides that he, too, was raised in a state-run institution, the emotion of the coincidence strains their friendship. When a gang of larcenous juvenile delinquents employed by a self-styled grande dame known only as Boss (Mercedes Ruehl) begin terrorizing the neighborhood, Max and his friends decide to fight back. The oldest, a sharp young vixen (Katharine Isabelle) leads two dim-bulb guys in the thievery ring. The good kids see a chance to expose their crimes and stop their bullying once and for all. The call upon the magician to help who is finally convinced by Max, On Halloween night the trap is sprung by luring the bad kids to the spooky house to be caught by the magician's trickery. In a benefit performance for Max’s orphanage, The Great Zamboni gives one last show, where, like magic, his pet jaguar disappears and his long lost wife reappears. The reunited couple announces they are adopting Max and the family takes a final bow.

Now the crew of the Colossus must battle the most fearsome creature ever to roam the oceans in order to survive in the most hostile
waters imaginable.
