When her little brother is kidnapped by goblins, a young girl must enter a mysterious labyrinth, populated by good and evil beings, to rescue him. George Lucas produced and Jim Henson (of Muppets fame) directed this heftily budgeted 1986 fantasy, which seems to be a conscious attempt to play on the female coming-of-age themes of classic fairy tales. Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie, and Toby Froud head the human cast.
