Story:
In The Golden Compass, the heroine, Lyra Belacqua
(Dakota Blue Richards), a young girl brought up in the cloistered
world of Jordan College, Oxford, and her dæmon Pantalaimon learn of the
existence of Dust, a strange elementary particle believed by the Church
to be evidence for Original Sin. Dust appears to be less attracted to
the innocence of children, and this gives rise to grisly experiments
being carried out by Church-controlled scientists lead by the scary Mrs
Coultier (Nicole Kidman) on kidnapped
children in the icy wastelands of the distant North.
Lyra and her dæmon journey to save their best friend Roger Parslow and
other kidnapped children from this peril, with the aid of the
Panserbjørne (armoured bear) Iorek Byrnison, John Faa and Farder Coram,
leaders of the Gyptians, the aeronaut Lee Scoresby, and the witch
Serafina Pekkala (Eva Green). After
dealings with armoured bears and witches and success in many arenas,
Roger is killed by Lyra's father Lord Asriel
(Daniel Craig) in his own successful experiment to create a
bridge into another world. Lord Asriel, followed by Lyra and
Pantalaimon, journey through it separately in search of the source of
Dust, unaware that they both mean to prevent the Church from destroying
it.
