The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl - BLU-RAY

In Texas, years before the events of THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, in the early days of the infamous Sawyer family, the youngest child is sentenced to a mental hospital after a suspicious incident leaves the sheriff's daughter dead. Ten years later, he kidnaps a young nurse and escapes with three other inmates. Pursued by authorities, including the deranged sheriff out to avenge his daughter's death, the Sawyer teen goes on a violent road trip from hell, molding him into the monster now known as Leatherface.

Two of the characters, Sharkboy (Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl (Taylor Dooley), magically come to life to help them save their home planet from the forces of darkness.
