From the royal.to: AT LAST! THE LOST FANTASY EPIC THAT ONCE PRECEDED THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!
Sir Maddox, a medieval knight, returns from the Crusades to find his home rife with sickness and his family gone. As he journeys through this mystical realm he encounters a mysterious and beautiful maiden, who appears to him as he is drowning. Sir Maddox learns that the maiden is being held prisoner by a black knight and in order to free her must confront her captor, the Black Angel.
Black Angel was a 1980 short film that was shown before the theatrical release of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back in certain locales. It was the directorial debut of Star Wars art director Roger Christian and was thought to be lost until the film was rediscovered in December 2011. Witness the return of this extraordinary fantasy film to the big screen, in the company of its director and on a newly minted and restored digital print!
