Labyrinth Theatrical Rerelease Date Set for David Bowie Movie

The Jim Henson Company and Fathom Entertainment have announced the Labyrinth rerelease date for the upcoming special screening of 1986’s classic fantasy adventure movie starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. Since its debut, it has maintained its Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes with a Tomatometer rating of 77% based on 52 reviews.

“Frustrated with babysitting on yet another weekend night, Sarah (Connelly), a teenager with an active imagination, summons the Goblins to take her baby stepbrother away. When little Toby actually disappears, Sarah must follow him into a fantastical world to rescue him from the Goblin King (Bowie). Guarding his castle is the labyrinth itself, a twisted maze of deception, populated with outrageous characters and unknown dangers. To get through it in time to save Toby, Sarah befriends the Goblins, in hopes that their loyalty isn’t just another illusion in a place where nothing is as it seems,” reads the synopsis.
