If his theory is proven, it could severely undermine the Magisterium's control. Asriel receives a grant for another expedition. Asriel later gives a presentation to other scholars regarding his discovery that Dust existing in the North Pole links infinite worlds. When Asriel returns to Oxford, Lyra saves his life after seeing a visiting Magisterium agent spike his wine with an unidentified poison. Her uncle, Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig), a noted explorer and scholar, has been absent seeking the elusive Dust, a cosmic particle that the Magisterium forbids to be mentioned. Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards), whose dæmon is named Pantalaimon or "Pan", is an orphan being raised at Jordan College in Oxford. Witches, however, have bird-shape dæmons that are able to travel long distances from their bodies. The dæmon communicates with the person and must remain in close physical proximity. In this world, every person's inner spirit partially exists outside the body, manifesting itself as an animal companion called a dæmon. In an alternate Earth, a powerful church called the Magisterium strictly controls the populace's beliefs and teachings.

Un cast stellare, in parte sprecato ma soprattutto una miriade di personaggi appena abbozzati e di location sfiorate, che fungono solo da contorno freddo e grigio, seppure la grafica sia di altissimo livello.
