The iconic New York City firehouse stands tall and proud, its brick façade weathered by time but its spirit undiminished. For decades, it has been the home base for the paranormal protectors known as the Ghostbusters. But now, in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” the firehouse takes on a new significance as the stage for a battle against an ancient evil threatening to plunge the world into a second ice age.

Directed by Jason Reitman and produced by Ivan Reitman, “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” brings together the beloved characters of the original Ghostbusters with a new generation of spectral fighters. At the heart of the story is the Spengler family, carrying on the legacy of the late Dr. Egon Spengler, one of the founding members of the Ghostbusters.

As the temperature plummets and ghostly apparitions run rampant through the streets, the Ghostbusters must put aside their differences and unite to confront this ancient evil.

Joining Phoebe and Trevor are a diverse cast of characters, including Callie (Celeste O’Connor), a street-smart entrepreneur with a knack for technology, and Lucky (Logan Kim), a young prodigy who possesses a deep connection to the spirit world. Together, they form an unlikely team of ghost-busting heroes determined to save their home and prevent a global catastrophe.

But the Spengler family’s journey is not just about battling supernatural forces; it’s also about honoring the legacy of their grandfather and the original Ghostbusters.
