STARDUST
SYNOPSIS
From the imaginations of best-selling author Neil
Gaiman and director Matthew Vaughn comes
"Stardust," this summer's one totally original
fantasy epic that is destined to enchant and excite
audiences of all ages.
Following the adventures of a young man who sets
out on a quest to prove his love, and finds far more
than he bargained for, "Stardust" takes on every
fairy tale in which anyone ever wanted to believe.
From wicked witches to dashing princes, flying
pirates to dueling swordsmen, magical spells to
mystical destinies, it all adds up to a funny,
romantic tale of true love and high adventure unlike
any other.
"Stardust" begins in the sleepy English village of
Wall, so named for the cobblestone wall that has,
for hundreds of years, kept the villagers safely
apart form the strange, supernatural realm that
lies just on the other side. It is here that young
Tristan Thorne (CHARLIE COX) makes a wild-eyed
promise to the prettiest girl in the village (SIENNA
MILLER), whose heart he hopes to win: that he will
bring her back a fallen star. But in order to make
good on his promise, Tristan will have to cross the
forbidden wall, and enter a mysterious kingdom lit
by unending magic and unfolding legends of which
he will quickly become a part.

In this fantastical realm known as Stormhold, Tristan discovers that the fallen star is not the meteorite
he expected, but a beautiful, spirited young woman (CLAIRE DANES) injured by her cosmic tumble. Now,
she is in terrible danger - sought after by the King's (PETER O'TOOLE) scheming sons for whom only her
secret powers can secure the throne; and hunted by a chillingly powerful witch (MICHELLE PFEIFFER)
desperate to use the star to achieve eternal youth and beauty.
As Tristan sets out to protect the star and bring her back to his beloved on the other side of the wall, his
journey will bring unforeseen romance, high-flying adventure, and incredible encounters with a pirate
captain (ROBERT DE NIRO), a shady trader (RICKY GERVAIS), and an enchanted unicorn among other
surprises. But if he can survive on his wits and the strength of his newfound love, Tristan will also
uncover the secret to his own identity and a fate beyond his wildest dreams.
