Abstract

The movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) is one example of a popular literature that utilizes the classic Adventure Formula in the popular fiction genre. This research aims to identify and analyze the narrative structure of the film based on the main elements in the Adventure Formula as described in the study of Popular Literature. A qualitative approach is used in this research and also uses the narrative analysis method of plot, character, conflict, and setting. The results of the analysis show that the movie adopts a traditional adventure pattern that involves the main character undergoing a mission, facing dangerous obstacles, and experiencing personal transformation through the journey. Elements such as exotic settings, fast pacing, and group dynamics enhance the film’s appeal to contemporary audiences. By referring to genre theory and the Popular Literature framework, this study shows how the movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle represents the Adventure Formula with a modern and relevant approach for today's audience.
