Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Mel Stuart · 1971 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A recluse nobody has seen in years hides five golden tickets in his chocolate bars, and the children who find them are led through a locked factory by a proprietor who quotes poetry while they ignore his warnings one by one. A poor boy from a household with four bedridden grandparents holds the last ticket. Financed by a candy company to launch a new bar, it failed in cinemas and became a fixture on television.
