Family Pictures presents a 35mm print of the 1982 Jim Henson classic
The Dark Crystal.
1,000 years ago
the crystal
cracked, and the spirits of the
UrSkek
were divided into the peaceful
Mystics
and the evil
Skeksis
.
A prophecy
was written that stated if a
Gelfling
healed
the crystal, the world would be renewed and the UrSkek would be
reunited. Due to the prophecy, the Skeksis hunted down and killed all
the Gelflings.
The last
Gelfling
left on
Thra
, a male named
Jen
, was saved and raised by the Mystics. Jen is sent by his dying master on a journey to heal
the Dark Crystal
. If Jen succeeds, the world will be saved; but if Jen fails, the Skeksis will rule the land forever. On his quest to
The Castle of the Crystal
,
Jen
meets
Kira
, another Gelfling. The two must battle the evil Skeksis and save Thra.
