When his younger brother, Georgie Denbrough, is murdered by Pennywise, a shape-shifting monster that often takes the form of a clown, Bill Denbrough (Jaeden Lieberher) convinces six of his friends — Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor), Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis), Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard), Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer), Mike Hanlon (Chosen Jacobs), and Stanley Uris (Wyatt Oleff) — to band together to fight the malevolent creature. They name themselves The Losers' Club.

As for the film's rating? "It is a rated-R movie," producer Dan Lin confirmed to Collider, while promoting The LEGO Batman Movie. "If you're going to make a "Rated-R movie", you have to fully embrace what it is, and you have to embrace the source material. It is a scary clown that's trying to kill kids. So of course that's going to be a rated-R movie. The kids are amazing. You very much get a Stand by Me vibe as far as their camaraderie and the way they joke with each other and that they really care for each other. They do have a scary clown that's taken over the town of Derry, so it's going to be rated R."
