Synopsis: Clue

The classic board game comes to life—and death!

An anonymous host invites six guests to an unusual dinner party. Each is given an alias: Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, and Miss Scarlet. Though they are discouraged from revealing any personal information, they soon discover each has fallen victim to the same blackmailer, who happens to be their host for the evening. Each is gifted a weapon—and a choice: pay their extortionist double or kill the innocent butler. What follows is a madcap evening full of murder, mystery, and mayhem where everyone is a suspect.
