歡迎來到地底王國!
在這裡,即使是微不足道的「小」蟲子,也具有無比的力量。
「陸地人」葛瑞格誤闖地底王國,成為預言中戰勝邪惡的光明戰士。
他是否有勇氣接納奇特的地底生物,並且順利找到回家的路呢?
在幽深的地底有一座神祕國度,就和地表世界一樣,地底國裡光明與黑暗並存,不僅地底人住在這兒,還有許多善惡難辨、體型巨大的其他種族,令人類的性命變得不再安全。
十一歲的葛瑞格和家人住在紐約市的公寓,當他和妹妹小靴掉進洗衣房的通風管時,他以為自己鐵定活不成了,沒想到卻意外打開通往地底國的入口。
來到地底國的葛瑞格,在陰錯陽差下成為一段古老預言中的光明戰士,必須深入危機四伏的死亡國面對凶狠的老鼠大軍。漫長旅途上的艱惡,將考驗他的勇氣;而地底種族間的歧見,將挑戰他的智慧。究竟葛瑞格能否順利完成任務?而他與小靴,會是預言中必須犧牲的成員之一嗎?

When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it -- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.
