Max Conner’s (Francis Capra) world is in a serious tailspin. He’s a skeptical young city kid who doesn’t believe in anything that can’t be easily explained. And his life is filled with one unexplainable event after another. However, everything changes one afternoon when he’s chased by a gang of bullies through a condemned warehouse. There, while evading these tough guys, he accidentally knocks over a boom box-out from which emerges a huge and powerful 3,000-year-old genie named Kazaam (Shaquille O’Neal). Though he’s at first suspicious of Kazaam’s offer to grant him the obligatory three wishes, Max soon becomes a believer as amazing things begin to happen. And after a series of adventures together, Max and Kazaam become an inseparable-albeit unlikely-team.
