One of Jim Henson's deepest and richest achievements, The Dark Crystal has become a contemporary classic. Set on the alien world of Thra, it follows the journeys of Jen, a young hero, as he attempts to repair the magical Dark Crystal and liberate his people from the rule of the malevolent Skeksis. A masterpiece of puppeteering practical effects, The Dark Crystal was named one of the Top 10 fantasy films of all time by the American Film Institute.
