Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Frustrated with babysitting on yet another weekend night, Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), a teenager with an active imagination, summons the Goblins to take her baby stepbrother away. When little Toby actually disappears, Sarah must follow him into a fantastical world to rescue him from the Goblin King (David Bowie). Guarding his castle is the labyrinth itself, a twisted maze of deception, populated with outrageous characters and unknown dangers. To get through it in time to save Toby, Sarah befriends the Goblins, in hopes that their loyalty isn’t just another illusion in a place where nothing is as it seems.

Moviegoers are saying
This cult fantasy classic divides audiences with its bizarre blend of David Bowie's magnetic Goblin King performance, impressive practical effects, and memorably weird moments like the infamous 20-minute 'stinky fart swamp' sequence. While some find it genuinely moving with quotable dialogue, others are left bewildered by its surreal imagery and Bowie's... prominent costume choices.

Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that does justice to the production.
