Plots(1)
When young Max bumps into an abandoned boom box, he's understandably shocked when it releases an extremely tall, Black genie named Kazaam, who grants the kid three wishes. At first, Max doesn't take the genie seriously, but soon enough, the pair become fast friends. Max desperately wants to reunite with his father Nick, who abandoned him years ago. He tracks him down, only to find Nick involved in criminal activities with sleazy, villainous types. When Nick's life is endangered by these men, Max wishes for another chance with his dad. Meanwhile, Kazaam has become a rapper -- and is busy performing in concert when Max makes his request. Will the genial genie miss his chance to help the young boy when he needs him most?
