Ladyhawke is a 1985 medieval fantasy film directed and produced by Richard Donner and starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer. The story is about a young thief who becomes unwillingly involved with a warrior and his lady who are hunted by the Bishop of Aquila. As he learns about the couple's past and secret, he chooses to help them overcome the Bishop's forces, and to lift an infernal curse. Ladyhawke was released on April 12, 1985 by Warner Bros. in the United States, with 20th Century Fox releasing in other territories.

Vinge published a novelization of the film, also titled Ladyhawke.
