After changing the face of science fiction cinema forever with Alien and Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott turned his visionary eye to the fantasy genre, teaming with writer William Hjortsberg (Angel Heart) to create a breathtaking cinematic fairytale with one of the screen's most astonishingly rendered depictions of Evil. In an idyllic, sun-dappled forest, the pure-hearted Jack (Tom Cruise) takes his true love Princess Lili (Mia Sara) to see a pair of unicorns frolicking at the forest's edge. Little do they know, however, that the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry, in a remarkable make-up designed by The Thing's Rob Bottin) has dispatched his minions to capture the unicorns and sever their horns so that he may plunge the world into everlasting night. After Lili and the unicorns are taken prisoner, Jack must team with a group of forest creatures and descend into Darkness' subterranean lair to face off against the devilish creature before it is too late. Despite a troubled production in which the elaborate full-size forest set was accidentally incinerated and a lengthy post-production that resulted in multiple versions of the film (with competing music scores by Jerry Goldsmith and Tangerine Dream), Legend has since been restored to Scott's original cut and embraced by generations of film fans eager to see a master director's unique vision of a world beyond our imagination.

Press Quotes

Legend is an impressive technical achievement. Scott is a perfectionist who takes infinite pains to make things look right.

     —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Legend is still so much fun to watch. It's a visual feast, a truly grim fairy tale.

     —Jessica Mason, The Mary Sue

A sumptuous, richly colored feast

     —Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Tim Curry is magnificent!

     —Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Legend is a gothic fairy tale brought to life

     —Ed Gonzalez, Slant

The sets, makeup and photography in Ridley Scott's contribution to the fantasy cycle are awesome

     —Sky Cinema

A gorgeously packaged and well appointed release of a film that continues to weave its own ineluctable spell in any of its versions. Highly recommended.

     —Blu-ray.com

Arrow Video's beautiful new Blu-ray restoration and release of Legend represents a significant upgrade--certainly the best experience of this film on disc to date, with the most comprehensive special features too. It's very highly recommended.

     —The Digital Bits

Legend is a marvel to behold with the sets, special effects and wardrobe that really hadn't been approached for a fantasy based film. It needs to be seen in at least Blu-ray to make out all the little touches that made film fantastical that allowed Ridley Scott to take us to one more other worldly location.

     —Inside Pulse

Arrow has put together a definitive package for fans of the film, with both versions, a superb visual presentation, and a true wealth of extra features to dig into.

     —Cinapse

It's insane how stocked this slipcase is. If you're a fan of Legend, there shouldn't be anything holding you back from picking up this release.

     —Under The Radar Magazine

This movie wasn't considered a classic when it was released. But today? Today it certainly is. This Arrow Video limited edition blu ray has everything you ever wanted to see about this movie

     —Bands About Movies

Still to this day one of the most impressive ever creations of practical make-up FX

     —One Of Us

Arrow's limited edition Blu-ray of the movie is overloaded with extras, both new and carried over from previous releases. It's insane how stocked this slipcase is.

     —Legend [Limited Edition] [Blu-ray] **DELETED**, Under The Radar Magazine

Another awesome looking Arrow box set.

a beautifully-lensed fairytale
