- Description
There is a superhero in all of us, and all it takes is a little magic to awaken it. In the case of Billy Batson (Asher Angel), all it takes is a single word - Shazam! - and this big-city-educated 14-year-old in foster care is transformed by an old magician into the adult superhero Shazam (Zachary Levi).
But Shazam, with his perfect body and chiseled muscles, retains the soul of a child, and in the adult version he does everything any teenager would do if he were blessed with superpowers: enjoy them! Can he fly? Does he have x-ray vision? Can he throw lightning bolts with his hands? Can he avoid a sociology exam?
Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful abandon of a child. But he'll have to master his abilities quickly to battle the deadly forces of evil wielded by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana...
