Ladyhawke

In a medieval world cursed by a renegade bishop, lovers Navarre and Isabeau find themselves separated by day and night. Navarre, a knight, transforms into a wolf as the sun sets, while Isabeau, a lady, becomes a hawk with the dawn. Their only hope for breaking the curse lies with Philippe Gaston, a young thief who may be able to help them confront the bishop and reunite under the sun and moon once more.
