When Willy Wonka decides to let five children into the greatest chocolate factory in the world, he releases five golden tickets in chocolate bars, causing complete mayhem. Charlie Bucket finds a golden ticket and is given a tour, along with four other children. Among the other winners are Veruca Salt, a spoiled rich girl; Augustus Gloop, a gluttonous kid who stuffs his face with sweets; Violet Beuregarde, a champion trophy gum chewer; and Mike Teavee, a kid who spends more time watching TV and playing video games than anything else. The tour of the factory will hold more than a few surprises for this bunch as they get a special glimpse of the wonders within.
