The story picks up where the previous one left off: two boys Walter and Danny Budwig discover the Jumanji board game where it was hidden and take it home. However, Danny discovers another game also hidden inside the box: the sci-fi-based Zathura. Despite their ongoing rivalry, Walter and Danny find they must work together if they're ever going to beat the game and get back home.

* AIIsACrapShoot: The robot summoned by Walter is apparently supposed to protect humans from hostile aliens. Unfortunately, its A.I. is defective and it can't differentiate Walter from an alien. This causes it to [[TheDeterminator relentlessly]] try to kill Walter until the boys topple it.

* EstablishingSeriesMoment: Once the game begins and Danny draws the first card saying "METEOR SHOWER TAKE EVASIVE ACTION", it's made immediately clear just how real the game's effects are when a meteor shoots straight through the TV that Walter is watching.

However, even if the heroes do manage to finish and dispose of the game, more often than not it will just worm its way into the hands of another group of unfortunate saps.
