[[caption-width-right:320:Who needs to go [[Film/TheWizardOfOz over the rainbow]] when you can go ''in'' one?]]
''Rainbow'' is a 1996 family film, directed by and starring Bob Hoskins and Dan Aykroyd. The plot revolves around three kids - Mike, Peter and Tissy. One day they witness a rainbow actually land. Taking a soil sample from the crash site allows them to somehow track where a rainbow will land next. The next time it rains, the kids (and Mike's older brother Steven) manage to track the rainbow and actually travel inside it. However, while inside, Steven steals some of the golden nuggets that helps the rainbow work. When they get back to Earth, colour starts draining from the world. Soon oxygen starts being drained from the world too, threatening life. Naturally the only way to stop this is to retrieve the gold and put it back in the rainbow.
