Plot
Snow White is the Princess of Tabor, daughter of King Magnus
and Queen Eleanor. After his wife's death, King Magnus marries the beautiful
Ravenna after rescuing her from the Dark Army, an invading force of glass
soldiers. Ravenna — who is in fact a powerful sorceress and the Dark Army's
master — kills Magnus on their wedding night after noting that men like him
exploit the beauty of women and discard them. As Ravenna seizes control of the
entire kingdom, Duke Hammond escapes the castle with his son William, but is
unable to rescue Snow White, who is captured by Ravenna's brother Finn. Snow
White is then locked away in the north tower of the castle.
Tabor is left in ruins under Ravenna's rule as she
periodically drains the youth from young women in order to maintain a spell
once cast by her mother which allows her to keep her beauty. When Snow White
comes of age, Ravenna learns from her Magic Mirror that Snow White is destined
to destroy her unless Ravenna consumes the young girl's heart, which will make
her immortal. Ravenna orders Finn to bring her Snow White, but she escapes into
the Dark Forest, where Ravenna has no power. Eric the Huntsman, a widower who
has survived the Dark Forest, is brought to Ravenna, who orders him to lead
Finn in pursuit of Snow White. In exchange, she promises to revive his deceased
wife, Sarah. Duke Hammond learns that Snow White is alive and has fled into the
Dark Forest. William, Snow White's childhood friend, later infiltrates Finn's
band as a bowman to find her.
The Huntsman tracks down Snow White in the Dark Forest but
refuses to hand her over until he knows Ravenna will keep her word. When Finn
admits that Ravenna cannot resurrect the dead, the Huntsman helps Snow White to
escape, promising to escort her to Duke Hammond's castle in exchange for a reward
of gold. The two leave the Dark Forest and pass through a fishing village where
all the women have disfigured themselves in order to escape Ravenna, and where
he learns Snow White's true identity. He then leaves her in the care of the
women but returns when he sees the village being attacked by Finn's men. Snow
White and the Huntsman eventually meet a band of dwarves — Beith, Muir, Quert,
Coll, Duir, Gort, Nion, and Gus. Muir discovers that Snow White is the only
person who can defeat Ravenna and end her reign.
As they travel through a fairy sanctuary, the group is
attacked by Finn's men, resulting in Gus' death. The Huntsman kills Finn after
learning he abetted in the murder of his wife. William reveals himself and
helps defeat the soldiers before joining the others in their journey to
Hammond's castle.
Ravenna disguises herself as William and tempts Snow White
into eating a poisoned apple, but is forced to flee when the Huntsman and
William discover her. William kisses Snow White — who he believes to be dead —
without seeing that she has shed a solitary tear. She is taken to Hammond's
castle. As she lies in repose, the Huntsman professes his regret for not saving
Snow White, who reminds him of his wife, and kisses her, breaking the spell;
she awakens after a second tear has fallen. Snow White then takes command of
the Duke's army and leads them into battle against Ravenna.
The Dwarves infiltrate Tabor through the sewers and open the
gates, which allows the Duke's army to invade the castle. Snow White confronts
Ravenna, but is overpowered. Ravenna is about to kill Snow White and consume
her heart when Snow White stabs her in the heart instead, causing Ravenna to
wither and die. Hammond's army is victorious, and Snow White is crowned Queen
of the restored kingdom.
