The 1986 film features a young Jennifer Connelly in the role that launched her career, alongside David Bowie as the captivating Goblin King. The movie centers on Sarah’s journey through a fantastical labyrinth populated by unusual creatures, impressive practical effects, and the incredible puppetry of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
