Dennis the Menace (known in the United Kingdom as Dennis) is a 1993 live-action film based on the Hank Ketcham comic strip of the same name. This film was directed by Nick Castle, written by John Hughes, and produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and John Hughes Entertainment, It concerns the misadventures of a mischievous child with a cowlick and adorable grin who wreaked havoc on his next-door neighbour, Mr. Wilson. The film was notable as the first time the title character was accurately cast as a five-year-old.
The film is an adaption of the comic strip, "Dennis the Menace" by Hank Ketcham. It is was a huge box office success and opened the door to a new generation of fans. A direct-to-video sequel called "Dennis the Menace Strikes Again!" had a star-studded cast but a quick commerical and critical failure.

This movie marks the fifth time that Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd have been in a film together, but they do not share any screentime together.
