Merlin (1998)
In a time long past, when magic was fading from the world of men, the malevolent sourceress Mab (Miranda Richardson) summoned forth a mighty wizard to keep the power of the Old Ways alive. The wizard's name... was Merlin (Sam Neill). But when his heart is touched by the love of the beautiful Nimue (Isabella Rossellini), Merlin turns away from Mab's dark enchantments. Allying himself with the young warrior who will rise to become the legendary King Arthur, Merlin pledges his mystic skills to Arthur's visionary cause: bringing peace and justice to the realm haunted by monsters and ravaged by war- and setting the stage for the ultimate clash of Good versus Evil. With spellbinding performances from a stellar international cast and spectacular special effects from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Merlin conjures up an epic Golden Age of wondrous magic, supernatural passions and unforgettable adventure!
In the Dark Ages, Merlin the magician finds himself in opposition to Queen Mab and her cohorts.
