Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards) è una ragazzina orfana che vive con il suo daimon (rappresentazione fisica in forma animale di un individuo), che si fida del suo tutore Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig) ma che viene concupita dalla bella affascinante Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman). Quando alcuni dei suoi amici vengono rapiti dagli ingoiatori Lyra cercherà insieme ai Gyziani di recarsi nella terra degli orsi polari per salvare chi realmente conta per lei.
