Based on the classic Nintendo game, The Super Mario Bros. Movie tells the story of two Brooklyn brothers who are plumbers, Mario and Luigi. They quickly find themselves split up in the Mushroom Kingdom, with Mario joining forces with Princess Peach, Toad and Donkey Kong to rescue Luigi and save the kingdom from the power-hungry Bowser.
