Young Winnie Foster, stifled by the formality of her proper life and domineering mother, escapes into the woods only to get lost. Soon she happens upon Jesse Tuck -- a boy full of life and adventure who's unlike anyone she's ever met -- and falls in love.
Based on the magical, award-winning book by Natalie Babbitt, Walt Disney Pictures' "Tuck Everlasting" captures the dreamlike, enchanted story of Winnie Foster (ALEXIS BLEDEL), a teenage girl on the cusp of maturity. Winnie longs for a life outside the control of her domineering mother (AMY IRVING), and when lost in the woods near her home, she happens upon Jesse Tuck (JONATHAN JACKSON), a boy unlike any she's ever met before. He and his family (WILLIAM HURT, SISSY SPACEK, SCOTT BAIRSTOW) are kind and generous, and they immediately take her in as one of their own. However, the Tucks hold a dangerous secret: they are all immortal and destined to stay forever young - the unintentional result of a drink from an enchanted stream. The Tucks realize that if their secret gets out - especially with the mysterious Man in the Yellow Suit (BEN KINGSLEY) ever-closer to tracking them down - the world as they know it could end. Ultimately, Winnie must decide whether it is best to live out her natural life or drink from the stream and be with her beloved Jesse and his family forever.
