In a parallel universe where humans have animal spirit guides called Daemons and great armored ice bears act as warriors, a young girl named Lyra Belacqua (Richards) is given a very special instrument called an Alethiometer. The instrument, also known as The Golden Compass, is the last of a mystical device that, in the right hands, can unveil the truth and reveal what others wish to hide.
