''Ladyhawke'' is a 1985 fantasy adventure film directed by Richard Donner, starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer. ==Plot== In medieval Europe, Philippe Gaston (Broderick), a thief known as "The Mouse," is facing execution, but escapes from the dungeons of Aquila via the sewers. The Bishop of Aquila (John Wood) sends his Captain of the Guard, Marquet (Ken Hutchison), to hunt down Philippe. At a country tavern, Philippe unknowingly reveals himself to Marquet and his men and is about to be killed. But the former Captain, Etienne of Navarre (Hauer), intervenes, defeats Marquet and his men, and rides off with Philippe. Navarre, who owns a beautiful hawk, refuses to let Philippe go his own way. They stop for shelter at a woodsman's hut. In the night, the woodsman tries to kill and rob Philipe, but an enormous black wolf kills the woodsman and saves Philipe. Philippe dashes into a shed and sees a beautiful mysterious woman (Pfeiffer), who leaves to accompany the wolf. Marquet rides back to Aquila and warns the Bishop of Navarre's return. The Bishop orders him to go after Navarre but warns him not to harm Navarre's spirited hawk. The Bishop then sends for Cezar. Navarre reveals that he intends to kill the Bishop of Aquila and asks Philippe to help him get inside the city. Philippe refuses, so Navarre ties him up for the night. But Philippe tricks the mysterious woman into releasing him and escapes. The next day, the Bishop's guards ambush Philippe. Navarre once again saves him, but Navarre and his hawk are both wounded by crossbow bolts. Navarre makes Philippe take the wounded hawk to the old monk, Imperius (Leo McKern) for help. Imperius locks the hawk in a room and goes out to gather herbs. Philippe picks the lock and finds the mysterious woman inside the room, with a crossbow bolt in her chest. Imperius returns, sends Philippe away, and tends to the woman's wound. Imperius tells Philippe that the woman is Isabeau d'Anjou. She came to live in Aquila and fell in love with Captain Navarre. But the Bishop was crazy about her and had tried to woo her. Imperius, who was the lovers' confessor, revealed their secret vows to the Bishop in a drunken confession. The Bishop went mad and made a demonic pact to curse the lovers so that by day Isabeau becomes a hawk and by night Navarre a wolf so that even though always together, they are eternally apart. Cezar the wolf trapper ( Alfred Molina) arrives to see the Bishop, who orders him to find Isabeau and kill the black wolf who loves her. After defeating some of the Bishop's guards at Imperius' ruined castle, Navarre learns from Imperius that the curse can be broken if he and Isabeau face the Bishop in their human form on "a day without a night and a night without a day". Navarre dismisses Imperius as an old drunk, and continues his way to Aquila intent on simply killing the Bishop. Philippe decides to accompany Navarre and "Ladyhawke", and he starts to transfer messages, which he most likely makes up, between the star-crossed lovers to enliven their spirits. Isabeau and Philippe encounter Cezar outside an inn after sunset. Isabeau sees Cezar's wolf pelts and gets hysterical. She rides after Cezar to the forest. Cezar triggers some of the traps there intentionally to terrify Isabeau in order to draw out her black wolf. When he examines a black wolf that has just got trapped, the black wolf that is Navarre shows up and surprises him. Isabeau kicks the crouching Cezar, and he falls down into a trap which snaps his neck. On the following night, Philippe convinces Isabeau that the curse can be broken. When the black wolf comes across the ice seeking Isabeau, the ice breaks and the wolf falls into the water underneath. Philippe's chest gets severely ripped by the wolf's claws as he tries to save the wolf out of the ice water. When Navarre sees Philippe's fresh wounds the next morning, Philippe is finally able to persuade Navarre to break the curse. At night Imperius and Isabeau enter Aquila through the main gate, bringing Navarre in his wolfen form along in a cage, while Philippe dives into the sewers, retracing his escape route, to get inside the city. The next day, the Bishop holds a mass to hear the clergy's confession. Navarre and Imperius wait on but do not see any sign to come. Navarre decides to attack as the mass is going to end. He asks Imperius to euthanize the hawk if he hears the cathedral bells ring, which would mean Navarre had failed. Philippe infiltrates the clergy confession from the sewers and unlocks the cathedral doors. Navarre rides in and duels with Marquet. During their bout, Marquet throws his helmet at Navarre but instead breaks a window high in the cathedral. As the duel continues, Navarre sees a solar eclipse through the broken window and realizes the curse can be broken. Navarre tries to get back to Imperius but fails at keeping the guards from ringing the cathedral bell. Believing Imperius is going to kill the hawk, he continues his fight and eventually kills Marquet. Navarre is about to kill the Bishop, but Isabeau enters the cathedral, calls out and stops him. Together they face the Bishop and break the curse. Isabeau confronts the Bishop. The Bishop goes into a fit of madness and tries to kill her, only to get himself killed by Navarre instead. Isabeau and Navarre finally embrace in joy inside the cathedral. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ladyhawke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
