"Snow White and the Huntsman" is a 2012 fantasy film directed by Rupert Sanders. It is a dark and reimagined take on the classic fairy tale of Snow White, with some notable differences from the traditional story. Here's a brief explanation of the movie:
The film begins with the evil Queen Ravenna (played by Charlize Theron) taking over the kingdom after marrying and then killing Snow White's father, the king. Ravenna is obsessed with maintaining her youthful beauty and gains power by draining the life force of young women. She learns from her magic mirror that Snow White (played by Kristen Stewart), her stepdaughter, possesses a heart that can make her immortal.
Snow White escapes from the queen's imprisonment and flees into the Dark Forest. To capture Snow White, Ravenna hires a Huntsman named Eric (played by Chris Hemsworth), promising to bring back his deceased wife if he succeeds. However, when Eric meets Snow White, he decides to help her instead and becomes her protector.
Together with a band of dwarves and other allies they meet along the way, Snow White and Eric embark on a quest to defeat Queen Ravenna, break her curse, and restore peace to the kingdom. Along the journey, Snow White discovers her destiny as a leader and a potential savior for her people.
The movie features stunning visual effects, action sequences, and a darker, more action-oriented interpretation of the Snow White fairy tale. It also explores themes of power, beauty, and the strength of the human spirit. "Snow White and the Huntsman" was followed by a sequel in 2016 titled "The Huntsman: Winter's War."
