Maleficent
Official Synopsis:
From
Disney comes “Maleficent”—the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from
the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman,
Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until
one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent
rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a
ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on
revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor
and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child
grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the
kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.
