The classic Disney story is brought back to life on the big screen. The Evil Queen (Julia Roberts) has her sights set on the royal throne and on the handsome prince (Armie Hammer), who's in love with Snow White (Lily Collins). Out of anger and jealousy, the Queen banishes her to the forest. But instead of being devoured by a vicious beast, like the Queen intended, Snow White enlists the help of seven dwarfs to help reclaim their destroyed kingdom.
