Synopsis

The first film based on Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy of fantasy novels. The action takes place in a parallel universe version of 19th century England - where everyone has an daemonic "familiar' in the shape of an animal and the world is ruled by the all-powerful Magesterium. The enthralling story finds 12-year-old orphan Lyra becoming embroiled in a conspiracy involving missing children - which takes her to the far corners of the globe and involves a talking polar bear, a witch, and a magical substance called "dust"...
