Plot Summary

Ghostbusters marks the long-awaited return of the iconic franchise, reinvented with a fresh cast of new and wildly entertaining characters. Thirty years after the original films took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings a modern tone and energetic style to this surreal sci-fi comedy.

At the center of the story are four brilliant yet unconventional women who form an unlikely team to confront a sudden surge of paranormal activity threatening New York City. Armed with cutting-edge technology, sharp wit, and fearless determination, they step into a role no one else is willing to take.

The film stars some of the most celebrated comedic talents of the era, including Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, with Chris Hemsworth delivering a scene-stealing performance as their hilariously clueless receptionist. Together, they must face ghosts, ghouls, and an impending supernatural apocalypse.

Blending action, humor, and nostalgia, Ghostbusters introduces a new generation of heroes ready to save the world—this time with more laughs, bold energy, and a distinctly modern spirit.
