A formative fantasy film, a quintessential 80’s artefact, and an ambitious pre-CGI production, The NeverEnding Story celebrates 40 years with a big screen re-release.

The grieving young Bastian finds a magical world called Fantasia hidden inside the pages of a book. But as Fantasia begins to crumble from a destructive force called the Nothing, which has caused the young Empress to get sick, it is Bastian who is tasked with guiding a young warrior named Atreyu, with the help of the luckdragon Falkor, through a quest in search of a cure.
