This is the story of the brave and good prince Rama and his battle against Ravana, the evil ten-headed king of all the demons. When Rama is wrongfully banished to the forest, Ravana uses a fiendish trick to kidnap the prince's beautiful wife, Sita. So Rama enlists the help of an army of fearless monkeys and their amazing leader, Hanuman, to rescue her and regain his kingdom.
