ABSTRACT
James Franco stars in this vehicle and prequel to The Wizard of Oz as Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician in 1905 rural Kansas just trying to make a name for himself when, one day, an altercation with a strongman in his circus leads to his escape in a hot-air balloon that -- by way of a tornado -- whisks him away to the Land of Oz, where witch Theodora immediately puts him at the center of a prophecy dictating his place as a wizard who overthrows the Wicked Witch responsible for murdering the king of their realm.
