Well, magic, of course.
Teenager Sarah, who still lives in a child's dreamworld is upset with her father and stepmother for having her once again babysit her annoying little brother. He just won't stop crying and she just wishes the goblins would come and take him away.
And so they do.
Little Toby is taken to the castle of the goblin king Jareth and Sarah, now panicky about what she has done, has 13 hours to make her way to the castle and save the boy. Her quest leads her through a labyrinth (hence, the title) and many an adventure, helped and sometimes hindered by the strange creatures she encounters.
The story is set somewhere between The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, but with the noticeable Jim Henson touch - with many awesome Muppets. And yes, awesome music.
I am not sure what they were on when they thought of this script but the final product is quite awesome.
7/10
