Seers have foretold that a newborn female will grow up to overthrow evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda. Riders search the land for female babies to slay. The true Alora Danin is found in the river by Willow Ufgood, an elwyn farmer who would like to become a sorceror, and he undertakes a journey to carry the infant to safety. Along the way he meets roguish warrior Madmartigan (Kilmer), several foolish Brownies, the good witch Fin Raziel, unfortunately locked up in animal form (Hayes), and the evil Queen's warrior daughter Sorsha (Whalley). The story is by George Lucas, who produced, with Ron Howard directing. This highly Tolkienesque film was the first feature (1988) to use morphing, courtesy of Industrial Light and Magic, and though it takes a while to get moving, is a bit overlong, and does not have much good acting, there is still a lot to like in it -- not least the sparks between gorgeous Whalley and buff and hearty Kilmer ("What are you looking at?" "Your leg -- I'd like to break it") who would marry after shooting was over (and divorce 8 years later). There's some terrific location shooting in New Zealand, California, England, and Wales. Lucas had planned two more films of this story, but box office receipts only just made back expenses, so he settled for releasing them in book form only.

A baby girl, destined by prophecy to bring about the downfall of an evil queen, is rescued from a massacre by being set adrift on a river. She is found by an apprentice wizard of a race of dwarves who then embarks on an adventure that teams him with a rogeish outlaw swordsman and a good witch and puts him in conflict with the evil witch queen. There is also a woman warrior, armies fighting battles, and a pair of silly "Brownies." Lots of swordfighting action, magic spell-casting, and humor.
