Labyrinth hit cinemas in the summer of 1986 but hardly set the box-office alight taking in just $12.9 million around the world. Since then it has won over legions of fans and achieved cult status.
The movie revolves around Sixteen-year-old Sarah (Connelly) who is given thirteen hours to solve a labyrinth and rescue her baby brother Toby when her wish for him to be taken away is granted by the Goblin King Jareth (Bowie).
