Legend (1985 film)
Legend is a 1985 American dark fantasy adventure film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, David Bennent, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, and Annabelle Lanyon. It is a dark fairy tale and has been described as a return to more original, sometimes disturbing, fables, from the oral tradition of ancient times before reading and writing were widespread.
Once, long ago, the ancient Lord of Darkness Tim Curry laments his isolation in the shadows before sensing the presence of two unicorns who safeguard the Power of Light where upon Darkness instructs Blix Alice Playten and his fellow goblins Pox Peter OFarrell and Blunder Kiran Shah to kill the unicorns and bring him their horns to free himself. Meanwhile, Princess Lily Mia Sara goes alone to the forest to meet her friend Jack Tom Cruise, a forest dweller who teaches her the languages of animals before showing her the unicorns. Against Jacks pleas, Lily approaches the stallion to stroke it, making the unicorn the perfect target for a poisoned dart from Blixs blowpipe. The unicorns bolt, and Lily makes light of Jacks fears and sets him a challenge by throwing her ring into a pond, declaring that she will marry whoever finds it.Jack at once dives into the pond. As the stallion dies from the poison and the goblins seize his horn, the forest and the pond freeze, with Lily running off in terror before Jack can break free. Taking refuge in a frozen cottage, Lily overhears the goblins talking about their slaying of the unicorn and testing the alicorns magical powers. She follows them to a rendevouz with Darkness, who orders them to hunt down the mare. In a fit of overconfidence, Blunder challenges Darkness with the stallions horn in hand, but is instead restrained and taken away. ........
