À l’Inviolata, un hameau agricole de Lombardie resté à l’écart du monde et du modernisme, règne la marquise Alfonsina de Luna. Elle vit dans une demeure décrépite et impose à 54 paysans, hommes, femmes et enfants, un servage de type médiéval à la technologie rudimentaire, et assume ouvertement cet esclavage avec l'aide zélée d'un comptable malhonnête, au prétexte que le peuple accepte la soumission. Lazzaro, un jeune paysan naïf et plein de bonté, lui aussi exploité par ses pairs, travaille dur sans protester. Il rencontre Tancredi, fils d'Alfonsina, jeune noble arrogant qui s’ennuie dans ce monde autarcique. Par jeu, Tancredi organise son propre enlèvement en demandant une rançon à sa mère pour fuir vers la ville. L'aide de Lazzaro à Tancredi scelle leur amitié.

"Once, long ago", the ancient Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry) laments his isolation in the shadows before sensing the presence of two unicorns who safeguard the Power of Light; where upon Darkness instructs Blix (Alice Playten) and his fellow goblins to kill the unicorns and bring him their horns to free himself. Meanwhile, Princess Lily (Mia Sara) goes alone to the forest to meet her friend Jack (Tom Cruise), a forest dweller who teaches her the languages of animals before showing her the unicorns. Against Jack's pleas, Lili approaches the stallion before the unicorn is hit by a poisoned dart from Blix's blowpipe. The unicorns bolt, and Lily makes light of Jack's fears and sets him a challenge by throwing her ring into a pond, declaring that she will marry whoever finds it, and Jack at once dives into the pond. As the stallion dies from the poison with the goblins taking his horn, the forest and the pond freeze, with Lily running off in terror before Jack can break free. Taking refuge in a frozen cottage, Lily overhears the goblins ordered to hunt down the mare.
