About this movie

More than seven centuries ago, in an age of enchantment and adventure, a pickpocket barely escapes a notorious dungeon and is rescued by a knight in black armor, on whose arm rests a glorious Ladyhawke.Michelle Pfieffer, Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick star in this enchanted swashbuckling tale of two lovers cursed to live together yet apart. By day, the beautiful, green-eyed Isabeau d'Anjou (Pfieffer) becomes a hawk, and by night her champion, Etienne Navarre (Hauer), transforms into a wolf. Only for a few brief seconds at dawn and dusk can the two be together as man and woman. But with the help of the wily Phillipe Gaston, known as the Mouse (Broderick), the lovers battle the evil bishop who, jealous of their love, cursed them for all eternity.

Ratings and reviews

This movie is great! However, the aspect ratio is off (at least on the SD version) and appears zoomed out in a tiny box in the middle of your TV. I contacted support and they refunded me, but it looks like this has been a known issue for the past 3 years and still isn't fixed :( Looking forward to when Warner Bros gives them a new file.

Ladyhawke (1985) is a great story. It's unfortunate about the music in the movie. That was just a really bad idea. But this is overshadowed by some brilliant performances, especially that of Matthew Broderick.

One of the greatest 80's movies ever but that's just my opinion. either you will love the soundtrack or hate it.
