剧情(有剧透情节)
Ten-year-old Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is an aspiring yet shy elementary school boy living in a financially-struggling family and 10-year-old Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) is the new girl at Jess' school,just arriving on the school's athletics day.She enters a running event which she wins with ease,despite her classmates calling it a "boys only" race.Jess is,at first,quite sour about this and wants nothing to do with Leslie,but Leslie's persistence in meeting him soon pays off,and soon the two become good friends.Their friendship starts when Leslie offers Jess a piece of gum on the bus,and he accepts.Jess shares his secret love of drawing with Leslie.Together they venture into the woods,where they swing across a rope and find an abandoned tree house on the other side.Here,the two friends invent a new world they call Terabithia,and it comes to life through their eyes as they explore together.Jess and Leslie base the menacing creatures of Terabithia on the people that give them a hard time at school.
Back in the "real" world,they both plot against bullies at their school,and Jess continues to deal with his family going through financial problems.Leslie gives Jess an unexpected birthday present,an art kit,and he gives Leslie a dog (Prince Terrien) in return,much to both of the children's happiness.On the next trip to Terabithia later that day,it is noted that the river beneath the rope has begun to swell.
Early one morning,Jess' music teacher,Ms.Edmunds (Zooey Deschanel),who has noticed Jess' artistic interests,calls to invite him on a field trip to an art museum.He makes an effort to ask his mother's permission; she is half-asleep and doesn't actually say anything,but he is so eager to go that he assumes she agreed.He has an unspoken crush on the beautiful and personable teacher and does not want to share the trip with Leslie; he merely looks at her home as they drive by.
When he returns,his father (Robert Patrick) and mother are worried sick,not knowing where he has been all day.He hears the horrific news that Leslie has died trying to swing across the rain-swollen river.The rope snapped and she fell in,drowning after hitting her head on something,possibly a rock,which knocked her out.Jess suffers much grief,and he and his parents visit the Burke family home to "pay their respects".
Jess feels overwhelming guilt for Leslie's death,thinking that it would not have happened had he invited her along on the trip to the museum.He is consoled by his father that their intense friendship should be kept alive for her sake.So,Jess re-imagines Terabithia and builds a bridge across the river to welcome a new ruler.He invites his sister,May Belle Aarons (Bailee Madison) to be that new ruler,who is delighted after being previously denied any opportunity to enter the land.She and Jess bring back Terabithia in even greater splendor; Jess the king and his sister the princess,and they rule over the free peoples of the kingdom together forever.
