== Plot ==
In a small town, Charlie Bucket, a poor paperboy, watches a group of children visit a candy shop. Walking home, he passes Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. A mysterious tinker recites the first lines of William Allingham's
 poem "The Fairies", and tells Charlie, "Nobody ever goes in, and nobody
 ever comes out." Charlie rushes home to his widowed mother and bedridden
 grandparents. After telling Grandpa Joe about the tinker, Joe reveals 
that Wonka locked the factory because other candy makers, including 
rival Arthur Slugworth, sent in spies to steal his recipes. Wonka 
disappeared, but after three years resumed selling candy; the origin of 
Wonka's labor force is unknown.
The next day, Wonka announces that he hid nine "Golden Tickets" in chocolate Wonka Bars.
 Finders of the tickets will receive a factory tour and a lifetime 
supply of chocolate. The first seven tickets are found by the gluttonous 
Augustus Gloop, the spoiled Veruca Salt, the gum-chewing Violet 
Beauregarde, the television-obsessed Mike Teevee, the hogging hogger Harry Hogger, the aggressive Miranda Mary Piker, the boastingful Wilbur Troutbeck and another spoilt girl, Elvira Entwhistle . As each winner is 
announced on TV, a man whispers to them. Charlie opens two Wonka Bars 
but finds no Golden Ticket. The newspapers announce the ninth ticket was
 found by a millionaire in Paraguay
 causing Charlie to lose hope. The next day, Charlie finds money in a 
sewer and uses it to buy a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar. With the change, he 
buys another Wonka Bar for Joe. Walking home, as Charlie hears people 
reading the newspapers; revealing that the Paraguayan millionaire's 
ticket is a fake, he opens the Wonka Bar and finds the ninth golden 
ticket. While rushing home, he encounters the same man seen whispering 
to the other winners, who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers a 
reward for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, the Everlasting Gobstopper.
Returning home with the Golden Ticket, Charlie chooses Joe as his chaperone. Joe overcomes whatever (possibly psychosomatic)
 ailment was keeping him bedridden as the result of the excitement at 
the thought of visiting Wonka's factory. The next day, Wonka greets the 
ticket winners and leads them inside where each signs a contract before 
the tour. The factory includes a candy land with a river of chocolate, 
edible mushrooms, gummy bears, candy canes, and other sweets and 
inventions. As the visitors sample these, they see Wonka's workers, 
small men known as Oompa Loompas.
 Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up a pipe to the 
Fudge Room. In the Inventing Room, everyone receives an Everlasting 
Gobstopper. Violet becomes a large blueberry after chewing an 
experimental gum containing a three-course meal, over Wonka's warnings. 
The group reaches the Fizzy Lifting Drinks Room, where Charlie and Joe 
ignore Wonka's warning and sample the drinks. They float and have a 
near-fatal encounter with an exhaust fan before burping back to the 
ground. During the visit in the Chocolate Cows Room, Harry drinks the whole bottle of Wonka Milk, causing him to grow incredibly fat, so the Oompa Loompas push him to the Sick Room. In the Golden Eggs Room, Veruca demands a golden goose for 
herself before falling into a garbage chute leading to the furnace, with
 her father falling in trying to rescue her. Then in the Spotty Room, Miranda and her father fall into the No-Entry Room. Viewing in the Vanilla Fudge Room, Wilbur Troutbeck rides on the wagons down into the Melting Room. The group tests out Wonka's
 Wonkavision, only for chocolate bars and Mike to teleport himself and 
become a few inches tall. And the spoilt Elvira tries to get a squirrel, but ends up falling in the garbage chute.
With Charlie and Joe remaining, Wonka says they are not getting 
anything because they violated the contract by stealing the Fizzy 
Lifting Drinks. Infuriated by this, Joe suggests to Charlie that he 
should give Slugworth the Gobstopper in revenge, but Charlie returns the
 candy back to Wonka. With this selfless act, Wonka declares Charlie as 
the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson, an 
employee of Wonka, and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality 
test that only Charlie passed. The trio enter the "Wonkavator", a 
multi-directional glass liftevator that flies out of the factory. Then they notice the eight naughty children coming out of the factory. Soaring 
over the city, Wonka reveals that his actual prize is the factory; Wonka
 created the contest to find an heir worthy enough, and so Charlie and 
his family can immediately move in. They go to pick up Charlie's family and leave, then Wonka then reminds Charlie not to 
forget about the man who suddenly received everything he ever wanted. 
Charlie asks, "What happened?" to which Wonka replies, "He lived happily
 ever after."
