This is such stuff as dreams are made of. This is Legend.
Legend (1985) is a fantasy film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry. This lavishly staged and costumed fantasy is about young Jack (Cruise) and his lady love Princess Lili (Sara), and how Jack battles Darkness (Curry) to save both the Princess and the world. When the peasant Jack takes Princess Lili to see the unicorns, the strongest animals around, he does not know that Darkness, with his cloven hooves, yellow eyes, and red skin plans on using Lili as bait to weaken the unicorns which he does — and plunge the world into an ice age. Soon after that disaster, Darkness captures Lili and, Jack has to rally his elves and elvettes to rescue her and subdue Darkness at the same time.
Though not a very notable success when first released, it received an Academy Award nomination (for best makeup) and has since gained a cult following.
