Based on a 13th-century European legend, Ladyhawke is the enchanting tale of a porcelain-skinned beauty (Michelle Pfeiffer), a stalwart knight (Rutger Hauer) - and a pickpocket known as the Mouse (Matthew Broderick). Once the knight and the lady were lovers. Now the curse of the jealous Bishop of Aquila (John Wood) keeps them "always together, eternally apart." By day she is a hawk, by night he is a wolf. To end the spell, the knight vows to break into the Bishop's stronghold with help from the Mouse, the only soul who's successfully escaped Aquila's dungeons. Directed by Richard Donner and photographed by three-time Academy Award winner Vittorio Storaro (Best Cinematography for Apocalypse Now, 1979; Reds, 1981; and The Last Emperor, 1987), the luminously beautiful, hypnotically exciting Ladyhawke "is the most congenial spot for happy ever-aftering since Camelot" (Rita Kempley, The Washington Post).
