Derry, 1958. Fog cloaks the strange little town where the Losers' Club hides. The camera focuses on seven teenagers: Bill, gnawed by guilt over Georgie; Stanley, whose shyness conceals a steel will; Mike, keeper of ancient secrets; Richie, hiding fear behind sarcasm; Eddie, pushing past his phobias; Beverly, proud and strong; and Ben, secretly in love with her. A foreboding hangs in the air: every twenty-seven years, It awakens to hunt. But here, among these kids, what matters more than the horror is their unbreakable friendship.
