From the box:

Chills and thrills: will Mr. Freeze put Gotham City on ice? George Clooney is Batman in a dazzling adventure (directed by Joel Schumacher) that pits the Dark Knight against his deadliest threat yet: cold-hearted Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and venomous Poison Ivy (Uma Thruman). Batman has more than Gotham City to protect: the youthful eagerness of crimefighting comrades Robin (Chris O’Donnell) and Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone) puts them frequently in harm’s way. New very special effects include a wild sky-surfing sequence and Mr. Freeze’s outrageous arsenal of ice-blasting weapons. It’s state-of-the-art excitement from our Batfamily to yours!

From the box:

Forged By A God. Foretold By A Wizard. Found By A King.

All the elements of Sir Thomas Malory’s classic Le Morte Darthur are here: Arthur (Nigel Terry) the boy king, removing the magical sword Excalibur from the stone and setting out to unite the land; the valorous Knights of the Round Table, sworn to the chivalric ideals of truth, courage and purity of heart, but decaying into drunkenness and squabbling; the gallant attempt to restore honor by seeking out the Holy Grail, the cup used by Christ during the Last Supper; and the wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson) and temptress Morgana (Helen Mirren), medieval alchemists who use their powers to affect the course of human events… but are powerless to prevent the old pagan gods of wood and stream from giving way to the new gods of logic and science.

On his quest for revenge, he meets “Draco” (Connery), a dragon whose power, strength and wit prove to be more than a match for the disillusioned knight.
