The Dark Crystal
ActionAdventureFamilyFantasy93 min
On the planet Thra, a young Gelfling races to recover the missing shard of a shattered crystal before the ruling Skeksis can use its power for evil. Stephen Garlick is Jen, drawn into a quest tied to the fate of his world, while Lisa Maxwell’s Kira becomes his ally as the convergence of three suns approaches. Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, the film builds its fantasy universe through full-bodied puppetry and creature design, from the hunched, scheming Skeksis to the solemn Mystics, with the broken crystal at the center of a struggle over balance, power, and survival.
