About

David Bowie dances a magic dance as Jareth, the Goblin King, in Jim Henson’s 1986 fantasy classic, Labyrinth.

Resentful of having to babysit her infant half-brother Toby, sixteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connolly) wishes to be free of the crying child. Her wish is granted by the Goblin King (David Bowie), who takes the baby, giving Sarah just thirteen hours to rescue her brother.

Thrusting Sarah into an adventure in a parallel world – filled with an ever-changing labyrinth, talking creatures, a peach of forgetting, and an otherworldly ballroom sequence – the dreamlike logic of the film shifts between states of childhood and adulthood as Sarah realises she is not as ready as she thought to be grown up.
