3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain

1998

Three young boys, Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum together with their neighbor girl, computer whiz Amanda are visiting Mega Mountain amusement park when it is invaded by an army of ninjas led by evil Medusa, who wants to take over the park and hold the owners for ransom. Kids and retired TV star Dave Dragon, who made his farewell appearance at the park at the time the ninjas appeared, have to break Medusa's vicious plans.

Ages 8+Source checked

Why this age? PG-rated comic action includes children in serious danger, hostage situations, weapons, explosions, dangerous rides, and frequent fighting. The tone is exaggerated rather than realistic, but younger viewers may find the peril intense. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
