Fifteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) is so resentful of her baby brother Toby that she
hopes he will just disappear. Her dream becomes reality when goblins kidnap the boy--but
Sarah unexpectedly finds herself horrified by the loss. So she sets forth to retrieve him, and
finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime. To accomplish her task, she will somehow have to
reach the center of the fantastical labyrinth where the wicked Goblin King (David Bowie, who
performs two songs) has imprisoned the lad. But the task is easier said than done, for the
maze is filled with strange creatures and mind-bending puzzles that confuse the girl. Directed
by Jim Henson and penned by Monty Python's Terry Jones, 'Labyrinth' is a distinctive,
beautifully designed dark fantasy for all ages.
