The Castle of Grayskull on the peaceful planet of Eternia is under threat from the power-crazed supervillain Skeletor (scene-stealing Frank Langella). Eternia's only hope of survival is a ragtag band of freedom fighters led by the heroic He-Man (Dolph Lundgren). When the brilliant troll Gwildor (Billy Barty) accidentally transports the epic fight to Earth via his Cosmic Key – a musical device that can open a portal to any location in the universe – the interstellar forces of good and evil are soon battling for ultimate supremacy in 1980s America!

Masters of the Universe (1987)
106 min
When the evil Skeletor finds a mysterious power called the Cosmic Key, he becomes nearly invincible, seizing Castle Grayskull and the surrounding city. The Sorceress is now Skeletor's prisoner and he begins to drain her life-force as he waits for the moon of Eternia to align with the Great Eye of the Universe which will bestow god-like power upon him. However, courageous warrior He-Man locates the locksmith inventor Gwildor, who created the Key and has another version of it. During a battle, one of the Keys is transported to Earth, where it is found by teenagers Julie and Kevin. Now, both He-Man and Skeletor's forces arrive on Earth searching for the potent weapon.
