Ghostbusters - Die Geisterjäger

So ein Pech. Da haben die Parapsychologie-Professoren Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz und Egon Spengler endlich den Beweis für paranormale Aktivitäten in Form einer waschechten Geistererscheinung vor den Augen, da werden sie auch schon vom Campus der Uni geworfen. Zu unwichtig und kostenintensiv seien ihre Forschungen. Frisch in der Arbeitslosigkeit angekommen, aber mit dem Wissen um die Existenz übernatürlicher Phänomene und Geisterwesen angereichert beschließen sie aus der Not eine zukunftsweisende Idee umzusetzen: Sie gründen ein Geisterjäger-Unternehmen! Mit selbst entworfenem Equipment und mit einem alten Feuerwehrgebäude als Hauptquartier stellen sie sich den lästigen Bedrohungen aus der Zwischenwelt. Und auch wenn die braven Bürger von New York der ganzen Sache etwas skeptisch gegenüberstehen, werd sie bald merken, wie nötig ihre Stadt diese geisterjagenden Jungs hat ...

    Having lost their status and credibility five years after covering New York City with gooey roasted marshmallows in Ghostbusters (1984), the city's former heroes and once-popular spirit-hunters struggle to keep afloat, forced to work odd jobs. However, when Dana and her baby have yet another terrifying encounter with the paranormal, it is up to Peter Venkman and his fearless team of supernatural crime fighters to step up and save the day. Once more, humankind is in danger, as rivers of slimy psycho-reactive ectoplasm, paired with the dreadful manifestation of evil sixteenth-century tyrant Vigo the Carpathian, threaten to plunge the entire city into darkness. Is the world ready to believe? Can the Ghostbusters save us for the second time?

    Running out of options and money, single mum Callie sets foot in the small town of Summerville, Oklahoma, with her two teenage children, Phoebe and Trevor. And now, there is no turning back. As the family attempts to settle in the dilapidated house of Callie's eccentric late father, unexpected secrets hidden in plain sight, mysterious equipment, and a strange vehicle rotting in the barn seem to relate to the area's puzzling seismic activity, and something even more shocking: the long-forgotten Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man Incident in 1980s New York City. But there hasn't been a single ghost sighting since the bizarre events of Ghostbusters II (1989). Is history repeating itself? Will Phoebe connect the dots, give her grandfather a voice, and discover the family's connection to the original Ghostbusters (1984)?
