Adapted by Roald Dahl from his book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this colorful confection of a film is part comedy, part musical, and all imagination. Reclusive candymaker Willy Wonka (Wilder) holds a contest for five lucky people to win the chance to tour his mysterious factory.

Young Charlie, from a family too poor to buy more than one chocolate bar, is a miraculous winner, along with four supremely spoiled and bratty children and their indulgent parents. In Wonka's wonderland, they witness chocolate waterfalls, never-ending jawbreakers, seven-course meals in one stick of gum, and, of course, hordes of green-haired Oompa-Loompas.
