In medieval France, knight
Rutger Hauer and lady fair
Michelle Pfeiffer both run afoul of evil-bishop
John Wood. Through the auspices of bishop's confessor
Leo McKern,
Hauer and
Pfeiffer are placed under a curse. During the night,
Hauer takes the form of a wolf, while
Pfeiffer assumes the form of a hawk by day. The two lovers can only meet one another as humans at dawn and dusk. The only mortal in a position to rescue
Hauer and
Pfeiffer from their fate is nebbishy pickpocket
Matthew Broderick, who acts as liaison between the lovers. With the help of the guilt-ridden
McKern--and a convenient solar eclipse--
Broderick endeavors to set things aright.
