Labyrinth: The Backstory Of David Bowie's Goblin King Jareth
How did Labyrinth villain Jareth become the Goblin King? Labyrinth was a box office bomb during its 1986 theatrical run but since then it’s become a cult favorite and has been reassessed by critics as one the best fantasy films to come out of the 1980s. Directed by master puppeteer Jim Henson, the movie tells the tale of a teenager named Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) who must navigate the enormous magical labyrinth to rescue her baby half-brother from the clutches of its ruler Jareth, who is played by late music legend David Bowie.
