Bridge to Terabithia

Bridge to Terabithia (2007) is a family drama from Walden Media you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Gábor Csupó, with Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb in the lead roles, the film adapts Katherine Paterson's 1977 Newbery Medal-winning novel for the screen.

Fifth-grader Jess Aarons spent all summer training to be the fastest kid at school — then on the first day, newcomer Leslie Burke beats him without breaking a sweat. What could have been a rivalry turns into something else entirely. Beyond a creek at the edge of the woods they build Terabithia: a private kingdom of giants, trolls and monsters, ruled only by the two of them. Music teacher Ms. Edmunds, played by Zooey Deschanel, sees that Jess draws worlds rather than just pictures. Robert Patrick plays his hard-working father.

The film goes somewhere most children's movies won't. It's about imagination as a way of surviving a world that isn't always kind — and about what that friendship leaves behind. Watch Bridge to Terabithia (2007) online on iFILM.
