Taking up where "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" leaves off, Charlie, his family, and Mr. Wonka find themselves launched into space in the great glass elevator.

After winning a trip to see the inside of a chocolate factory, a poor young boy named Charlie Bucket, is rewarded by eccentric candy-maker named Willy Wonka for having a kind heart.

Charlie and five others draw golden tickets from Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided tour of the legendary candy factory that no outsider has seen in 15 years. Dazzled by one amazing sight after another, Charlie is drawn into Wonka's fantastic world.
