Hooked!
Part 2 - Neverland

The people behind Hook had the impossible task of physically building Neverland without the use of CGI. This was before visual effects had the ability to convincingly create entire worlds, so Neverland would have to rely on carpenters and craftsmen and painters to bring it to life.

During production, Spielberg has to decide whether or not Hook should be a full-fledged musical while Julia Roberts's personal heartbreak threatens to interfere with her role as Tinkerbell.

Hooked!
Part 1 - An Awfully Big Adventure

After a string of so-called "grown-up movies" like The Color Purple and Empire of the Sun, Steven Spielberg returns to the world of imagination and adventure with Hook.

Though kids seem to love it, the lukewarm critical response and disappointing box office has folks wondering, "Has the world's most famous filmmaker finally grown up?"

Hooked!
Hooked! Trailer

Thirty years ago, Steven Spielberg released his long-awaited take on the story of Peter Pan.

Hook starred Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts and was directed by the most famous filmmaker on the planet. But the all-star cast and behind-the-camera credentials weren't enough to make Hook a success. Panned by critics and met with lukewarm box office, Hook was considered a financial and artistic disappointment.

So how did Hook become such a beloved classic? What was the atmosphere on the set of what was (at the time) the biggest movie production in the history of movies? And why - out of all of his movies - does Spielberg so readily single Hook out as a blight on his resume?

Featuring interviews with those involved with the production and insights from film critics and superfans, Hooked! is a deep-dive into the most Bangarang movie ever made.
