Directed by Barry Levinson (DINER, RAIN MAN) and produced by Steven Spielberg, this imaginative tale presumes that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson met as young men at a boarding school in the late 1800s. Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) is already an aspiring detective when Watson (Alan Cox) arrives in his dormitory anticipating a studious life in preparation for medical school. With the help of Elizabeth (Sophie Ward), who is the niece of an eccentric professor as well as the love of Holmes' life, the famous detective team begins investigating the mysterious deaths of wealthy men who appear to be the victims of horrible hallucinations. The investigation leads to their discovery of an evil sect based on Egyptian mythology that sacrifices young women and whose leader has his own reasons for seeking revenge against a group of prominent Englishmen. Screenwriter Chris Columbus cleverly presupposes the origin of Holmes' trademark pipe and deerstalker cap as well as the reason why he never married.

    one of the best movies of its time

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 2005

    Pros: Was true to Conan Doyles creation

    Cons: none!

    I'm definitly proud to call myself a Sherlockian. So I think I may safely say, that anyone who values Sherlock Holmes, should own this movie. It depicts Sherlock Holmes as Doyle would, while still adding some 20th century twists to it. If you'...;ve researched it you would know that it was the first movie ever to make things inanimine seem to come to life! And it was directed by Steven Spielburg himself! Possibly the greatest movie of its time. I hope you enjoy it when you see it, which I'm sure you will! Read more Less

    This is one of the greatest movies of all time. An Indiana Jones type action with the incredible mystery plot keeping you on the edge of your seat.

    A combination of sex, drugs and food to give you everything you want in life
