*I'm* the rear end in a top hat here? Just because I point out that MAYBE, maybe noticing only a lady's breasts, as opposed to her acting, is a lovely thing to do? Do you know how much less the average woman makes in the modern workplace?

Because she's being used without her knowledge to sell tickets to male privileged men, that's why she's wearing that stupid outfit

Typical response from an overly privileged male reacting to his society given advantages being challenged in the slightest. Let me guess, you hate Anita Sarkeesian too? You don't believe women are more actively being exploited in the Hollywood machine and in general in the modern world? Your ape brain can't even process this, instead choosing to resort to insults when presented with uncomfortable TRUTHS regarding some old movie based on a board game. Great job not doing anything to improve society beyond your sad toolish existence, you privileged gently caress.

Seems you've confused me for some sort of penis, dear fellow.

I like how one random goon suggests that quad-posting the jiggling tits is shameful, and a whole team of other goons explodes in defiant rage and immediately starts chanting MRA Protocol One in near-unison

Stop objectifying women you goons

Mazes and Monsters came out in the heyday of the RPG Dungeons & Dragons (the novel's title is a thinly veiled reference to the game) and was seen by some as a warning to parents about the dangers of RPGs. It came out at a time when Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) was being attacked by groups who alleged that it promoted Satanism and other forms of occult activities.


The movie opens with a scene that is repeated later in the film in which a reporter meets with police searching a cavern. He is told a Mazes and Monsters game got out of hand.

Robbie Wheeling (Tom Hanks) starts college at the fictional Grant University and soon develops a group of friends, all of whom have their own personal problems and issues. JayJay (Chris Makepeace) feels marginalized by his mother who constantly redecorates his room since she can't make up her mind about the best look, Kate (Wendy Crewson) has had a series of failed relationships, Daniel's (David Wallace) parents reject his dream of becoming a video game designer, and Robbie's alcoholic mother and strict father fight constantly and he is still tormented by the mysterious disappearance of his brother Hall. They are fans of a game called Mazes and Monsters, a fantasy roleplaying game that had previously caused Robbie to get kicked out of his last school when he became too obsessed with it. Though he is reluctant, the other three students convince him to start playing again with them.

Through the course of playing the game, Robbie and Kate begin a serious relationship, in which he confides in her that he still has nightmares about his missing brother. Eventually, JayJay, upset by feeling left out by his friends, decides to commit suicide in a local cavern. In the process of planning it out, he changes his mind and decides the cavern would be better suited to a new Mazes and Monsters campaign. He dramatically kills off his character to force them to start a new campaign, in which he describes they will be living out their fantasy.

During the actual spelunking, Robbie experiences a psychotic episode, where he hallucinates that he has slain a monster, called a Gorvil. From this point forward, Robbie believes he is actually his character, the cleric Pardieu. This leads him to break off his relationship with Kate (to maintain celibacy), and to start drawing maps that will lead him to a sacred person he has seen in his dreams called the Great Hall. In his dream, the Great Hall tells him to go to the Two Towers, which is in fact the World Trade Center, and he believes that by jumping off one of them and casting a spell, he will finally join the Great Hall. His friends have reported him to the police while concealing their trip into the caverns, and eventually deduce his location in New York and stop him from jumping off the south tower observation deck. It also turned out that Robbie's brother had died after running away many years earlier.
