In medieval France, knight Rutger Hauer and lady fair Michelle Pfeiffer both run afoul of evil-bishop John Wood. Through the auspices of bishop's confessor Leo McKern, Hauer and Pfeiffer are placed under a curse. During the night, Hauer takes the form of a wolf, while Pfeiffer assumes the form of a hawk by day. The two lovers can only meet one another as humans at dawn and dusk. The only mortal in a position to rescue Hauer and Pfeiffer from their fate is nebbishy pickpocket Matthew Broderick, who acts as liaison between the lovers. With the help of the guilt-ridden McKern--and a convenient solar eclipse--Broderick endeavors to set things aright. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One of the greatest movies of all time. I love the story and get emotional everytime I see it. A wonderful story for children and adults alike. Definitely rentworthy!
I hated the cheezy drama love ending (and really, dozens of guys just standing around doing nothing while the Bishop got killed?), but the rest was good...
I really liked it! A fun story, and I began to believe it...the acting was good . A mysterious edge kept me intruiged and I loved the ending. I'd like to watch it again, and that says a lot.
One of the best movies for the millenia. the Cinematography is breathtaking! The movie holds true to the ancient French myth that I was brought up with. The actors & actresses were absolutly perfect for thier roles!!! Humor, love, suspence, danger and magic of myth all in one very special movie. Very intellegent. I hightly recommend this.
