Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) has just made a terrible wish. She wished that her baby brother would be taken by goblins -- and her wish has come true! The Goblin King (David Bowie) has whisked the boy off to his castle to be goblinized. Now Sarah must rescue him, and that means getting into the Goblin Castle to face the mighty Jareth. But between Sarah and the castle stands the Labyrinth, a magically mesmerizing world of mazes, mystery and spellbinding excitement. Enter with Sarah into a world of wonderment... enter into the Labyrinth! A fantastic journey deep into a wonderous land of enchantment!

Editor's Note

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.

Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide 9 of 10
Teenage girl's baby brother is kidnapped by the King of the Goblins (David Bowie); in order to rescue him she must navigate a devilish labyrinth. Entertaining variation on Alice in Wonderland written by Monty Python's Terry Jones, executive produced by George Lucas, and filtered through the sensibilities of The Muppets' Jim Henson. A treat for kids and the young at heart (Muppet fans in particular); only weakness is that it does get slow at times. - Leonard Maltin
