Bruno finds himself aiding the youth while evading government operatives and an alien bounty hunter/assassin who are fast on their trail. Before an invasion from other worlds comes to Earth, the teens must find the location of their spaceship, which is buried within Witch Mountain. The plot tells the events surrounding a pair of extraterrestrial teenagers named Sara and Seth who have paranormal abilities, are in search of a way back to their home-planet, and drag a Las Vegas taxi driver named Jack Bruno into their adventures. Initially marketed as a remake or reboot, the theatrical film was revealed to be a legacy sequel over the course of events of its story. Following the positive response to the film, the franchise continued with later installments. The movie was one of the studio's most successful live-action films at the time. The Walt Disney Company released a 1975 feature film adaptation that was mostly faithful to the source material. It was originally published in 1978 by the Westminster Press in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Key penned the novelization, based on the screenplay by Malcolm Marmorstein. The duo escape with the remainder of their people, who call themselves 'Castaways'.Ī sequel novel titled Return from Witch Mountain was released in 1978 by the Walt Disney Studios, to coincide with the release of their feature film of the same title. Over the events of the book, the two remember their true nature as extraterrestrial life who came to Earth, when their home-planet was being destroyed. After being released to a man self-described to be their 'uncle', they discover his nefarious plans in using them for personal gain. The pair, who have little recollection of their past, are placed into a juvenile detention home by social services. The events of the story follow two teenage orphans named Tony and Tia, who have paranormal abilities. The Walt Disney Company's Witch Mountain franchise is based on the 1968 science fiction novel Escape to Witch Mountain, written by Alexander Key.
