The untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959
classic "Sleeping Beauty." A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman with
stunning black wings, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a
peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army of humans
threatens the harmony of the
land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she
ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal - an act that begins to turn her
pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle
with the king of the humans and, as a result, places a curse upon his
newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that
Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom - and to Maleficent's true
