When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.
Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

In the undiscovered era known as Croodacious, the creatures and landscapes are unlike anything our world has ever known. Mother Nature is still experimenting and has yet to invent the flora and fauna we know today. One day, an earthquake strikes this volcanic world and a caveman named Grug (Nicolas Cage) and his family are forced to leave everything behind in search of a new home.
Things soon turn from bad to worse when Grug and his family come across a nomad named Guy (Ryan Reynolds) and Grug’s oldest daughter (Emma Stone) falls for him. Things continue to get complicated when the nomad’s search for "tomorrow" comes at odds with Grug’s reliance on the traditions of yesterday.
