Alec Baldwin brings the
legendary crime fighting superhero vividly to life in this lavish action
adventure. Pitted against him is Shiwan Khan (John Lone), last descendent
of the great Ganghis Khan who conquered half the world. Now, Shiwan
Khan plans to the job with a new and better weapon: the atomic bomb.
The Shadow, mysterious alter-ego
of wealthy New York playboy, Lamont Cranston, dons his sweeping black cape
and disguise whenever crime surfaces. Besides his ability to "cloud
men's minds," he has his own network of helpful people whose lives he's
saved, a romantic involvement with telepathic socialite Margo Lane (Penelope
Ann Miller), and secret dark side. However, he's never tangled with
anyone like Khan, an enemy whose strength and occult powers match his own.
When those two square off, they're destined for a spectacular battle -
with the fate of humanity riding on it's result.
