"Space Jam: A New Legacy" is a 2021 live-action/animated sports comedy film that serves as a sequel to the 1996 film "Space Jam." The movie stars NBA superstar LeBron James as himself and features the Looney Tunes characters, combining animation and live-action elements. Here's a brief summary of the story:
The film begins with a young LeBron James being encouraged by his coach to choose between basketball and video games. LeBron chooses basketball, which sets the course for his future success. Years later, LeBron is now a successful NBA player with a wife and two kids. However, he struggles to connect with his younger son, Dom, who is more interested in creating video games than playing basketball.
One day, LeBron and Dom get trapped in a digital world called the "Server-Verse" by an evil algorithm named Al-G Rhythm (played by Don Cheadle). Al-G Rhythm wants to use their digital likeness for his own gain. To rescue his son, LeBron must assemble a team to compete in a basketball game against a team of AI-generated super-athletes, including characters from various Warner Bros. properties.
LeBron finds himself in Tune World, where he meets the Looney Tunes characters led by Bugs Bunny. However, the Tune Squad has been disbanded and scattered across different planets in the Server-Verse. LeBron and Bugs Bunny set out on a mission to recruit his teammates, including characters like Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Lola Bunny, and more.
As the Tune Squad prepares for the basketball game, they discover that each member possesses their own unique abilities. LeBron learns to appreciate the Tune Squad's unconventional skills and decides to let them play their way. In the climactic basketball game, the Tune Squad faces off against Al-G Rhythm's formidable Goon Squad.
During the game, Dom joins the Tune Squad, using his video game skills to contribute to the team's success. The game is filled with over-the-top antics, wild animation, and a mix of basketball and pop culture references. The Tune Squad ultimately prevails by embracing their individuality and teamwork.
LeBron and Dom return to the real world, having learned valuable lessons about family, self-expression, and the importance of balance. LeBron comes to understand and support his son's interests while still appreciating the significance of real-world experiences.
"Space Jam: A New Legacy" combines family dynamics, nostalgia, and a celebration of Warner Bros.' vast entertainment properties with the high-energy fun of a basketball game, making it a colorful and entertaining addition to the "Space Jam" franchise.
