About Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters, directed by Paul Feig, is a thrilling and entertaining comedy that follows a group of four paranormal investigators and eliminators as they battle an otherworldly threat that has taken over Manhattan. The movie stars some of the funniest and most talented actresses in Hollywood, including Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert, a physics professor who becomes a skeptic of the paranormal after a personal experience; Melissa McCarthy as Abby Yates, Erin's former partner and a true believer in the supernatural; Kate McKinnon as Jillian Holtzmann, a nuclear engineer and the team's gadget guru; and Leslie Jones as Patty Tolan, a subway worker who becomes the team's local guide and historian.

The story begins with Erin and Abby, who wrote a book about the existence of ghosts years ago, reuniting when a series of paranormal events start occurring in New York City. As the sightings become more frequent and intense, they decide to form a team to investigate and capture the ghosts. They are soon joined by Jillian, who creates some of the most advanced and outrageous ghost-fighting gadgets, and Patty, who brings a wealth of knowledge about the city's history and ghost lore. Together, they become the Ghostbusters, a group of fearless and hilarious women who are determined to save the city from a supernatural takeover.

As the Ghostbusters continue to battle the ghosts, they discover that a powerful and malevolent entity known as Rowan North is behind the invasion. Rowan, a former hotel janitor with a grudge against society, has created a device that amplifies the paranormal activity and allows him to control the ghosts. With the help of their secretary, Kevin, the Ghostbusters must find a way to stop Rowan and his army of ghosts before they destroy the city. Filled with exciting action, witty humor, and memorable performances, Ghostbusters is a must-watch for fans of comedy and sci-fi alike.
