"Race to Witch Mountain" 2009 movie provides fun and excitement for the entire family! This excellent Walt Disney family film was released in U.S. theaters on March 13, 2009. Starring the incredible championship wrestler/actor "The Rock" (Dwayne Jonson) whom is absolutely perfect for this part, simply because of his physical appearance attributes and mental attitude; for example, "I don't take any crap from anybody, know matter who they are"

Poor Jack Bruno ("The Rock") eventually drives hundreds of miles into the dessert and finally stops exhaustedly after driving for so many hours.
He asks "Where are your parents?" They replied to Jack: "You wouldn't understand. Please just keep driving. We will pay you!" Out into the dessert of nowhere land. Poor, confused and frustrated, but kindhearted Jack keeps ironically driving. Young alien Sara suddenly says out of the back seat of the yellow cab "Somebody is following us Jack".
