THE GOLDEN COMPASS (2007)
SYNOPSIS
Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and
award-winning novel, The Golden Compass tells the
first story in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.
The Golden Compass is an exciting fantasy
adventure, set in an alternative world where
people's souls manifest themselves as animals,
talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches
co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by
newcomer Dakota Blue Richards), a 12-year-old girl
who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been
kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as
the Gobblers - and winds up on an epic quest to save
not only her world, but ours as well.
