Detailed description
The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical-fantasy film based on the 1900 children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Orphaned twelve-year-old Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her little Dog Toto, live a simple life in rural Kansas with her Aunt Em , Uncle Henry and three colorful farm hands, Hickory, Hunk and Zeke. A storm is brewing and she rushes back to her farm's house just ahead of a sudden tornado. There, she takes shelter inside the house, where she is knocked unconscious by a loose window frame. A confused Dorothy seems to awaken a few minutes later to discover the house has been caught up in the twister. Moments later, the twister drops the house back onto solid ground. Opening the door and stepping into full three-strip Technicolor, Dorothy finds herself in a village and parkland of unearthly beauty. Glinda, the Good Witch of the North arrives magically via bubble. She informs Dorothy that she is in Munchkinland and that she has killed the ruby-slippered Wicked Witch of the East by "dropping a house" on her. Dorothy needs to go to the Emerald City to get home. On her way to the city, Dorothy meets a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Cowardly Lion. The three decide to accompany Dorothy to the Wizard in hopes of obtaining their desires. Along the way, they behave in various ways which demonstrate that they already have the qualities they think they lack: the Scarecrow has several good ideas, the Tin Man is kind and sympathetic, and the Lion is ready to face danger even though he is terrified. The group reaches Emerald City, where they are greeted kindly. The group talks to the Wizard of Oz - a disembodied and imposing head with a booming voice - who says that he will consider granting their wishes if they can bring him the broomstick of the Wicked Witch. They end up accomplishing that and The wizard explains that he, too, was born in Kansas, and his presence in Oz was the result of an escaped hot air balloon. He promises to take Dorothy home in the same balloon, leaving the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion in charge of Emerald City. Just before takeoff, Toto, sees a cat and jumps out of the balloon's basket. Dorothy jumps out to catch him, and the wizard, unable to control the balloon, leaves without her. She is resigned to spend the rest of her life in Oz until Glinda appears and tells her that she has always had the power to return home, through the power of the ruby slippers. Dorothy says a tearful goodbye to the friends she has met in Oz, and then follows Glinda's instructions to get home, which consist of closing her eyes, tapping her heels together 3 times, and chanting "There's no place like home." Back in sepia tone, she awakens in her bedroom in Kansas (still chanting "There's no place like home," in her sleep) surrounded by family and friends and tells them of her journey.
