Oz the Great and Powerful 🎥 2013 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Circus magician and con artist, Oscar Diggs escapes from a jealous strongman in a hot air balloon and is swept away by a tornado to the Land of Oz. Upon arriving, he meets the witch Theodora, who believes he is the wizard prophesied to defeat the Wicked Witch and become king of Oz. Hoping for wealth and fame, Oscar agrees to help her reach the Emerald City. Along the way, he befriends a flying monkey named Finley and later a living china doll whose village was destroyed by the Wicked Witch. At the Emerald City, Theodora’s sister Evanora tells Oscar that the Wicked Witch is Glinda, daughter of the late king, who lives in the Dark Forest.

Oscar sets out to destroy Glinda’s wand, believing it will defeat her. However, when he meets Glinda, he learns that Evanora is the true Wicked Witch and has manipulated him. After Evanora shows Theodora visions of Oscar becoming close to Glinda, the heartbroken Theodora eats an enchanted apple offered by Evanora, transforming into a green-skinned witch. Glinda brings Oscar and his companions to her domain, where she reveals that she knows he is not truly a wizard but believes he can still help save Oz. Oscar devises a plan using illusions and machinery to frighten Evanora and her forces into retreating.

While Glinda’s followers distract the witches’ army with mechanical decoys, Oscar secretly enters the Emerald City and stages his apparent death before reappearing as a giant spectral image accompanied by fireworks and smoke effects. Convinced that Oscar possesses real magical power, Theodora flees Oz, while Evanora is defeated after Glinda destroys her enchanted necklace, revealing her true appearance and banishing her from the city. Oscar becomes the new ruler of Oz and continues projecting the illusion that he is a powerful wizard. He rewards his allies for their help, while Glinda and Oscar acknowledge their feelings for one another.
