In 1969, seven helpless and bullied children known as the Losers Club, are forced to confront their worst nightmares and defeat an ancient evil entity named Pennywise, a shape shifting clown who torments children before eating them. Then, 27 years later in 1996, the Losers Club receive a call from their old friend Mike Hanlon that Pennywise has returned and they return to put an end to the evil entity, once and for all.
