The highly anticipated 'A Minecraft Movie,' featuring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, brings the beloved video game to life in a comedic adventure directed by Jared Hess. The film follows Black's character, Steve, who is trapped in the Overworld, as Momoa and a group of misfit characters are pulled into this alternate dimension through a portal.
