In the film, a group of young kids came together to bring down a clown named Pennywise, who abducted young children from Derry, Maine, and ate them as a meal. One of Pennywise’s well-known phrase is, “You’ll float too.” with a red balloon showing up throughout the movie.  In the movie, there are many different challenges that each young individual has to face, and get through in order to work together to defeat a common enemy.
