'The Dark Crystal' is a masterful live - action fantasy starring some of Jim Henson's most imaginative creatures ever! Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz and produced by Gary Kurtz, 'The Dark Crystal' brilliantly weaves a timeless myth of Good and Evil.
In another time, the Dark Crystal, a source of balance and truth in the universe, was shattered, dividing the world into the two factions: the wicked Skekis and the peaceful Mystics. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the Crystal must be healed, or darkness will reign forever.
It's up to Jen, the last of his race, to fulfill the prophecy that a Gelfling will return the missing shard to the crystal and destroy Skekis' evil Empire. But will young Jen's courage be any match for the unknown dangers that await him?
