The Dark Crystal 40th Anniversary

Fathom Events, Universal Pictures and The Jim Henson Company are bringing the epic fantasy classic ‘The Dark Crystal‘ to the big screen for its 40th anniversary.

From genius filmmaker Jim Henson comes “The Dark Crystal.” Many years ago, the mysterious Crystal was cracked and an age of chaos began, led by the evil race of Skeksis who rule over the land of Thra. Meanwhile, raised in solitude by a gentle race of creatures called the Mystics, the Gelfling orphan Jen is sent on a quest to find the missing shard that will heal the Dark Crystal and restore balance to the universe.

Fathom’s special anniversary event will feature a brand-new introduction from Lisa Henson, CEO of The Jim Henson Company. She will reflect on the making of this groundbreaking film and its dedicated fandom, as well as the legacy of her father, Jim Henson.

Tickets for “The Dark Crystal” are on sale now at www.fathomevents.com or at participating theater box offices.
