Fresh from its £26 million UK box office gross, The Golden Compass will be available in a two-disc DVD featuring a host of special features, as well a single-disc standard DVD.


Based on Philip Pullman’s best-selling and award-winning first novel in the now legendary His Dark Materials trilogy, the film is adapted and directed by Academy Award-nominee Chris Weitz.

The Golden Compass features an all-star ensemble cast including Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliot and introduces Dakota Blue Richards.

In a wondrous parallel world, witches soar the skies and Ice Bears rule the frozen North. But this world is also dominated by the Magisterium, which seeks to control all of humanity.
12-year-old Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) lives an extraordinary life as a ward of distinguished Jordan College. Tearing unsupervised through the streets on mad quests for adventure with her loyal friend Roger (Ben Walker), Lyra is accompanied everywhere by her daemon, Pantalaimon (voiced by Freddie Highmore) - a small, ever-changing animal that serves as a constant voice of reason.

But then one day Roger goes missing and. Lyra swears to go to the ends of the earth to rescue him. When a new figure appears at the college, beguiling scientist Marisa Coulter (Nicole Kidman), she sees her best chance to get away.

Soon, Lyra finds that she has been drawn into a trap designed to take from her the one thing she possesses that the Magisterium desperately seeks - The Golden Compass. Given to her as a gift by the Master of Jordan College (Jack Shepherd), it is a mystical, powerful device that can tell the truth, reveal what others wish to hide and foreshadow – and even change – the future.

Forming an unlikely alliance with a tribe of seafaring Gyptians, the mysterious witch Serafina Pekkala (Eva Green) and Texas airman Lee Scoresby (Sam Elliott), Lyra is flung into an adventure that will take her over sky and ocean, to the wilds of the icy North, where she gains a powerful ally in a great armoured bear (voiced by Ian McKellen).

A great war is coming – one that threatens not only Lyra’s world but all the parallel worlds waiting just beyond the northern lights.
