**Plot Summary:**
Bastian Bux, a ten-year-old book-loving boy, struggles with shyness and isolation following the loss of his mother. While avoiding school bullies one day, he takes refuge in a bookstore. The owner, Mr. Coreander, is unimpressed by Bastian’s curiosity about a mysterious book he’s reading. Warned that it’s not a typical “safe” story, Bastian’s intrigue grows. He secretly takes the book, titled *The NeverEnding Story*, and begins reading it in the school’s attic.
The book reveals the magical realm of Fantasia, which is slowly being destroyed by a force known as “The Nothing.” The Childlike Empress, ruler of Fantasia, becomes gravely ill, and a young warrior named Atreyu is chosen to find a cure. He believes healing the Empress will halt The Nothing’s destruction. Armed with a protective medallion called the Auryn, Atreyu embarks on his journey. However, he is pursued by Gmork, a fearsome wolf-like creature summoned by The Nothing.
During his quest, Atreyu seeks guidance from Morla, an ancient turtle-like sage in the Swamps of Sadness. While the Auryn shields Atreyu, he tragically loses his beloved horse, Artax, to the swamp’s despair. Morla reluctantly directs him to the Southern Oracle, located ten thousand miles away. Exhausted and nearing capture by Gmork, Atreyu is rescued by Falkor, a luck dragon. Falkor takes Atreyu to two gnomes near the Southern Oracle’s gates. When Atreyu passes through the second gate—a mirror showing one’s true self—he sees a boy who Bastian recognizes as himself, linking their fates.
**Note:** The story captivates with its themes of courage, imagination, and the power of belief. The film remains a timeless fantasy classic.
