Stardust: A family comic adventure film

Stardust is a 2007 British-American fantasy film from Paramount Pictures, directed by Matthew Vaughn. The film is based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name.

The star cast includes Charlie Cox, Ben Barnes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Sienna Miller, Mark Strong, Rupert Everett, Ricky Gervais, David Walliams, Nathaniel Parker, Peter O’Toole, David Kelly, Robert De Niro, Mark Heap and Henry Cavill.

The English village of Wall lies near a stone wall that is the border with the magical kingdom of Stormhold. A guard is constantly posted at a break in the wall to prevent anyone from crossing.

At the beginning of the story, Dunstan Thorne crosses over the wall and into the Wall Market. There, he meets a slave Princess who offers him a snowdrop in exchange for a kiss. Nine months later, the Wall Guard delivers a baby to Dunstan, saying his name
is Tristan.

18 years later, in the capital of Stormhold, the king is on his deathbed. He throws a ruby into the sky, decreeing that the first of his fratricidal sons to recover it will be the new king. The gem collides with a star, and they fall together and land elsewhere
in Stormhold.

In Wall, Tristan Thorne sees the star fall behind the wall, and vows to retrieve it for the object of his infatuation, Victoria, in return for her hand in marriage. His father reveals to him that his mother is from the other side of the wall, and gives him
a Babylon candle that she had left for him, which instantly transports the user to any desired location.

Tristan lights it and is transported to the fallen star, a beautiful woman named Yvaine. He promptly chains her in order to take her home to Victoria.

The rest is worth watching and it can even be seen with the family sitting around.
