Based on the award-winning book by Louis Sachar, 'Holes' is a funny and poignant coming-of-age adventure. It tells the story of Stanley Yelnats (SHIA LaBEOUF), an unusual young hero, dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse. Perpetually in the wrong place at the wrong time, Stanley is unfairly sentenced to months of detention at Camp Green Lake for a crime he didn't commit. There, he and his campmates, Squid, Armpit, ZigZag, Magnet, X-Ray, and Zero are forced by the menacing warden (SIGOURNEY WEAVER) and her right-hand men Mr. Sir (JON VOIGHT) and Mr. Pendanski (TIM BLAKE NELSON) to dig holes in order to build character. Nobody knows the real reason they're digging all these holes, but Stanley soon begins to question why the Warden is so interested in anything 'special' the boys find. Stanley and his campmates must stick together and keep one step ahead of the Warden and her henchmen as they plot a daring escape from the camp to solve the mystery and break the Yelnats family curse.
