An elderly narrator tells the story of Maleficent, a very strong and powerful faerie
living in the Moors, a magical land near a human kingdom. As a young girl, she falls in love
with a human boy named Stefan, but his ambition to become king is stronger than his
love. As they grow older, Stefan stops seeing Maleficent. The king tries to invade the
Moors but Maleficent wins the battle. The human king offers to name whoever kills

Maleficent as his successor. Stefan goes to see Maleficent, pretending to visit her as a
friend. He drugs her and tries to kill her but he cant do it. Instead, he burns and cuts
her beautiful wings with iron, a lethal substance to fairies, and presents them to the
king as proof of her death. Stefan becomes king and Maleficent declares herself queen
of the Moors.
Some time later, King Stefan celebrates the birth of his daughter, Aurora. Maleficent
wants revenge so she cursed the baby princess. On her sixteenth birthday, she will fall
