About Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

Wayne Szalinski, a well-meaning but scatterbrained scientist, invents a shrinking ray. In a twist of fate, his children, Amy and Nick, along with their neighbors, Ron and Russ Thompson Jr., stumble into the path of the ray. Accidentally activated, the machine shrinks the four teenagers down to the size of insects. Lost in their own backyard, now a vast and dangerous wilderness, the teens must work together to survive encounters with giant insects, rogue lawnmowers, and other everyday hazards. Meanwhile, Wayne, oblivious to the children's plight, frantically searches for them, unaware that they are right under his nose, struggling to get his attention and return to their normal size. The adventure tests their courage, ingenuity, and the bonds of family and friendship.
