SYNOPSIS


In  director  Wolfgang  Petersen's charming fantasy, Bastian, a lonely
schoolboy alienated from his father  and  bullied  by  his  classmates,
retreats  to  an  attic  where he becomes engrossed in a book entitled
The Neverending  Story.   It   is   the   tale   of   a   magical   kingdom
appropriately  named  Fantasia,  since  it  is  a  world  born  of human
fantasies. However,   as   humanity   loses   faith   in   the   power   of
imagination,  the  once-thriving  Fantasia  is being destroyed by great
storms of Nothingness.  Dangerously  ill  herself,  Fantasia's  youthful
empress  sends  the young warrior Atreju on a quest to find a cure for
the kingdom. After encountering flying dragons, swamp monsters and a vast assortment  of   other   strange   creatures,   the   young   hero discovers  that  only  a  human boy can save Fantasia, at which point
Bastian is drawn, literally, into the pages of the story.
