The Golden Compass
Based on the first volume in Philip Pullman's best-selling, award-winning trilogy, His Dark Materials, THE GOLDEN COMPASS unfolds an epic fantasy adventure set in a parallel world, where science and magic intertwine. Twelve-year-old Lyra Belacqua (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards) sets out to rescue her best friend, and ends up on an extraordinary quest to save not only her own world, but ours and others as well. Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman stars with Daniel Craig in this triumph of the imagination. Filled with fascination, depth and wonder, Pullman's saga presents the eternal struggle of good vs. evil -- and the power of one young girl to heal a rift torn in the fabric of the universe.
