In another time, The Dark Crystal - a source of balance and truth in the universe - was shattered, dividing the world into two factions: the wicked Skeksis and the peaceful Mystics. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the Crystal must be healed...or darkness will reign forever.

The task falls upon Jen - the last of his race - to fullfill the prophecy that a Gelfling will return the missing shard to the crystal and destroy the Skeksis' evil empire. But will young Jen's courage be any match for the unknown dangers that await him?
