BASED on the massive-selling children's book of the same name, this highly original film tells of Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf), who is falsely accused of stealing and sent to Camp Green Lake to dig holes by order of the mysterious Warden (Sigourney Weaver) and her assistants Mr Sir (Jon Voight) and Mr Pendanski (Tim Blake Nelson).

But there's more behind their digging than is being let on.
