''Race to Witch Mountain'' is a 2009 Disney action film starring Wrestling/DwayneJohnson. It is a remake/reboot of the ''Witch Mountain'' movies from TheSeventies (''[[Film/EscapeToWitchMountain Escape to]]'', ''[[Film/ReturnFromWitchMountain Return from]]'', and ''Beyond'') and their own 1995 remake. The story consists of two aliens ([[HumanAliens who look just like human teenagers]]) crash landing on Earth. The Government takes their ship to a top-secret research facility, Witch Mountain. From there the two aliens, Seth and Sara, hail a cab, brandish a large wad of money, and tell the driver, Jack Bruno (Johnson), to go "that way". The three quickly find themselves in a [[TitleDrop race]] to reach Witch Mountain to recover the spaceship and escape, all while evading the forces of government agent Burke (Creator/CiaranHinds) and the Siphon (Tom Woodruff Jr.), a dangerous alien assassin assigned to eliminate the twins.

** For those of us who actually paid attention to the scene, we notice that Sara's last words before she left didn't actually include ''her mouth moving''.
*** This also pays off when you consider in the credits sequence that Jack and Alex have Junkyard with them, and he's remarkably well-behaved. Jack also being telepathic now would explain this.

Forgot about Beyond. And I hate myself for that, being a fan of Vincent Schiavelli.
