Eustace befriends the outsider Jill Pole at the boarding school he goes to. When they are followed by a group of mocking children, they flee through a garden gate and arrive at Narnia. Here Jill receives the order from Aslan the Lion to look for the missing Prince Rilian, the beloved son of the already aged King Caspian, together with Eustace. With the help of the moor wobbler Puddleglum, the two get into the castle of the giants, where there will soon be a festival. When Eustace and Jill find out that the main course is human, the three of them have to flee. They pass through a tunnel into an underground realm in which stone creatures serve the so-called "Green Lady". They also meet an ally of the Green Lady, a man suffering from a curse. The curse turns him into a dangerous beast at night that can only be kept under control on a specially constructed "silver armchair". When Jill and Eustace break the curse, they discover that the stranger is Prince Rilian and that the Green Lady is planning an invasion of Narnia.
background
The mythical-looking exterior shots made in Great Britain , the well-coordinated human-to-giant proportions and the convincing portrayal of the two young actors David Thwaites and Camilla Power make the finale of the Narnia trilogy an experience. Nevertheless, the film seems lengthy in some places and the special effects are now long out of date.
