One of the most beloved fairy tales comes to life in the spectacular new movie, Mirror Mirror.

After a popular king (Sean Bean) vanishes, his ruthless wife (Julia Roberts) seizes control of the kingdom and keeps her beautiful 18-year-old stepdaughter, Snow White (Lily Collins), hidden away in the palace.

When the princess attracts the attention of a charming and wealthy visiting prince (Armie Hammer), the Queen banishes the girl to a nearby forest.

Taken in by a band of rebellious but kind-hearted dwarves, Snow White blossoms into a brave young woman determined to save her country from the evil Queen. With the support of her new friends, Snow White springs into action to reclaim her birthright and win back her prince.

Catch the magic, humour and adventure when Mirror Mirror hits cinemas on March 15.
