Brand new factory sealed dvd is the longest cut of the film to date running almost 2 hours, all previous versions were about an hour and a half. Comes in a collectible pop art case and dust cover slip sleeve (pictured). This version jettisons the Tangerine Dream soundtrack and re-instates the original Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. Ridley Scott, who had previously made 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner', wanted to make a fairy tale film that his children might enjoy. He decided early on not to rehash traditional stories and myths, but to create his own fairy tale with American writer William Hjortsberg. The Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry) wants to kill the light-bringing Unicorns and throw the world into eternal night so that he may rule forever. Lili (Mia Sara) is an innocent girl who goes to the forest to see her lover Jack (Tom Cruise) who lives there. Jack takes her to see the Unicorns, and Darkness's minions, Blix (Alice Playten), Pox (Peter O'Farrell), and Blunder (Kiran Shah) are able to poison one Unicorn as Lili unwittingly distracts it with her aura of innocence. Not knowing what has happened, Jack and Lili talk in the forest and Lili promises to marry Jack if he can find her ring, which she throws into a stream. At the same time the goblins catch up with the poisoned Unicorn and cut off its horn, which is known as the Alicorn. Instantly the world is thrown into winter. Jack is found by Gump (David Bennent), Brown Tom (Cork Hubbert), Screwball (Billy Barty) and Oona (Annabelle Lanyon), a group of fairies who help him in his quest to get the Alicorn back. Lili and the second Unicorn are captured by Blix, Pox, and Blunder and it is up to Jack and the fairies to save her and the Unicorn. Jack must first prove himself by fighting a water hag named Meg Mucklebones (Robert Picardo), then devise a plan to defeat Darkness, fight the cooks in the kitchen and finally put his plan of reflecting light down into the dungeons into action. With this release were finally able to enjoy the original Jerry Goldsmith score, the original begining and ending, the original Panavision framing, and all the other lost bits that LEGEND's are born of.
