The Shadow is a 1994 American superhero film, directed by Russell Mulcahy, and based on the character of the same name created by Walter B. Gibson in 1931.Alec Baldwin starred in the title role. The film is one of many featuring The Shadow, but it is the most expensive of those productions, with an estimated $40 million budget.
The story begins somewhere in Tibet after the First World War at the court of a powerful foreign warlord. American named Lamont Cranston (Alec Baldwin) has succumbed to his darker instincts during the war. He then vanished into the Orient, where he exists as a brutal warlord and opium kingpin under the alias of Yin-Ko (Mandarin Chinese > "Dark Eagle").
One night he is abducted from his palace by servants of the Tulku (voiced by Barry Dennen), a holy man who exhibits otherworldly powers and knows Cranston's identity. He informs Cranston that he will become a force for good. Cranston objects but is silenced by the Phurba (voiced by Frank Welker), a mystical living knife that assaults Cranston, wounding him. Cranston is unable to refuse and remains under the tutelage of the Tulku for seven years. He learns to "cloud men's minds", a form of hypnosis that allows him to influence others' thoughts and bend their perceptions so he cannot be seen.

Plot
The Fantasai Comet passes the night sky once every six years, and with it, local legend says, certain mythological beasts stir from their hiding. Sure enough, misfortune strikes the small town of Prospect, Oregon when a local stargazing adventurer mysteriously disappears while backpacking in the wilderness on a quest to see the comet. Joseph, his only son, is suddenly left without a family or a clue to the fate of his father. Six years later, following the return of the mystifying comet, Jo finds himself once again in the midst of tragedy. A series of violent attacks and mysterious markings leaves little doubt that the mythological beast is back, forcing Jo to relive the grief of his past. Though he tries to warn the community, his words fall on deaf ears. Jo has no choice but to take matters into his own hands, not only to save the people of Prospect, but also gain closure to the mystery surrounding his father's disappearance. Armed with little more than his obsessive drive for answers, Jo journeys deep into the world of the unknown. Constantly battling his darkest fears and most heartfelt questions of faith, Jo comes closer than ever to his father and the horrifying truth...

The Shadow Knows!
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
Moe Shrevnitz: [puts a ring from the Shadow on Tam's finger] Don't ever take it off.::Dr. Roy Tam: [confused] Who *are* you?::Moe Shrevnitz: [holds up his hand with an identical ring on it] Somebody who owes him their life... somebody just like *you*.
The Shadow: I saved your life, Roy Tam. It now belongs to me.::Dr. Roy Tam: It does?
Margo Lane: Oh, God I dreamed.::Lamont Cranston: So did I. What did you dream?::Margo Lane: I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?::Lamont Cranston: I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.::Margo Lane: You have problems.::Lamont Cranston: I'm aware of that.
[repeated line]::Moe Shrevnitz: Somebody's coming.
Shiwan Khan: Your mind is like an open book to me!::Lamont Cranston: Then learn how to read!
Lamont Cranston: You are a barbarian.::Shiwan Khan: Thank you.
Shiwan Khan: In three days, the entire world will hear my roar, and willingly fall subject to the lost empire of Shan Kahn. That is a lovely tie, by the way. May I ask where you acquire it::Lamont Cranston: Brooks Brothers.::Shiwan Khan: Is that mid-town.::Lamont Cranston: 45th and Madison. You are a barbarian.::Shiwan Khan: Thank you. We both are.
Margo Lane: We need each other.::Lamont Cranston: No we don't.::Margo Lane: We have a connection.::Lamont Cranston: No we don't.::Margo Lane: Then how can you explain that I can read your thoughts?::Lamont Cranston: My thoughts are hard to miss.::Margo Lane: And why is that?::Lamont Cranston: Psychically, I'm very well endowed.::Margo Lane: I'll bet you are.
Dr. Roy Tam: I guess you would call it an implosive-explosive sub-molecular device.::Lamont Cranston: Or an Atomic Bomb.::Dr. Roy Tam: Hey, that's catchy.
Lamont Cranston: Am I in hell?::Tulku: Not yet.

I'll come dancing throught your door with hands out to the poor
And you won't know my name but you will play my game
And thought your eyes will sleep, sleep so very deep
It can't keep me from your door
Like a vampire I will call
And when the Sandman comes to you at last
I'll take the reins
Like a river flowing south
A virus coursing throught your blood
Bursting its bank and over the land
Washing away the grains of sand
And after all the faded years
I look in the mirror on the edge of tears
It seems I might have finally seen
That haunting shadow was really me
There's a man who's followed me just about all of my life
Being to you what I couldn't be
I call him my insecurity
He was strong when I was weak
Spoke outloud when I couldn't speak
He takes you hand from your carriage
And kisses you under the silver moon
Taken by his charm hand on arm
This white knight of gestures can never do wrong
I ran and I ran to go as far as I can
Looking over my shoulders
But always seeing that man
Running after me on the horizon forever
He takes you hand from your carriage
And kisses you under the silver moon
Taken by his charm hand on arm
This white knight of gestures can never do wrong
Shining bright a silver light
On the long tall shadows of the night
Spiralling down and out of control
I know it's a dream but I can't let go
Cries for help fall on stony ground
There's so much noise I can't hear a sound
Forever falling and I can't sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Looking for somewhere that's home to me now
The king of the castle and his sacred cow
I've travelled the world and by chance this is how
The lies became true
Between me and you
Free spirit I've travelled so follow me now (x3)
I'll come dancing throught your door
With hands out to the poor
You won't suspect at all
Shadows are livin
I know who they are
Don't tell me I'm crazy cause I'm too far
Shadows I live with
They watch when I fall
And no one can stop me from what I believe
Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes
The eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...
Wasting my time just trying to be
My friends have no faces just voices
Somehow they help me when I'm lost in my life
And give me the strength to get out of it
Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes
The eyes see everything
Between the plan and the truth
Between the state and the act
Falls the shadow and the hypocricy
Among the existence and (the) nature
Between the thought and the spoken
Falls the shadow and the sneakness
Not to be aware of these …
Living (in) this way is
Propping up (the) devil
Consenting (as) normal is
Being (a) part of evil
Not to be aware of these …
Not to be aware of these …
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men, leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw and dirt
Don’t step into favor
No need to search the devil anywhere
Standing on your left shoulder
But don’t forget the (other) one on the right
He is always following your kind fight
Tell your way
Left or right
Choose your colour
Black or white
Till the answers will be cleared
The hollow will not dissappear
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men, leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw and dirt
Don’t step into favor
Not to be aware of these …
Not to be aware of these …
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men, leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw and dirt
Don’t step into favor
If we want to stuff the hole
In life we’ve gotta hold our role
Only way is Right and White
Walk with me awhile
I've got something to say to you or ask you
I don't know
It's been a long day
If the dove falls in the sea
Never bringing us a leaf
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under
If i wash up on the beach
And i've lost all memory
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under
If i decide to bring it all down
Will you stay and help me figure it out
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under
Walk awhile with me
I've got something to say to you or ask you
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under
I know it stinks
(Timothy B. Schmit)
I've been so brokenhearted
You've been so far away
I don't know how it started
To be this way
I want to tell you something
I want to play with fate
Come over here and listen
It's not too late
We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I won't give in
There's a shadow
Outside my window
I'm just tryin' to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you
Sometimes I dream in colors
It always happens when
I find myself with others
Who don't pretend
I see you in the ocean
I hear you on the phone
I feel your touch and wonder
Why I'm alone
People say that I should
Simply let it be
I don't know if I could
Even though I see
A shadow
Outside my window
I'm just tryin' to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you
I could tell you
I'm alright
But that won't do
I need you tonight
In the morning I rise
I greet a brand new day
I rub the sleep from my eyes
And then I say
We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I won't give in to
The shadow
Outside my window
I'm just tryin' to be true
Every night I feel it behind me
Every night I sense its presence
Every night it's haunting me
As ominious as my dyed counscience
Every night it turns every dream
Into a frowsty nightmare
Every night I want to turn
And finally face this shadow
In a frowsty chill
A mist of fear
The one I do not wish to know
Resides my every dream
The Shadow, my unseen
Beholding captor
Every night I feel it behind me
Every night I want to face its nature
But never this do I dare
For saw I it, surely die would I
Last night, in my dream I turned
To face the faceless peril
How morbid my dreads then seemed
As I saw my own distorted face
In a moisty chill
A dreadlike mist
The one I restist to know
Enshrouds my every dream
The Shadow, my hidden
And it's over now
The guns have flowed
The nightmare flashed
On a cradle road
As the guilty rain came down
No child to hold
Through anxious fears
No gentle hand
To catch the tears
That soak this ancient ground
The smile that breaks so gently
Belies a troubled head
Like a voice that holds the secrets
Of the life you might have led
Eyes with pale indifference
In danger and in grace
But the glance that knows the death-knell
Left its shadow on your face
In the deep enduring darkness
As your loyal friends go down
Touched by the violent crown
'Til their hunter's hunted down
Chorus
The web is slowly woven
The endless dreamers shed,
In the dawn the curfew is broken
On the Sunday morning's dead.
Centuries of thunder
Take the Castle in the flood
To the cold night air of London
Where you hands are bound in blood.
Mid winter deepened
As the parting turned inside
A thousand times you cried
But the shadow never died.
And it's over now
The guns have flowed
The night mare flashed
On a cradle road.
As the guilty rain came down.
No child to hold
Through anxious fears
No gentle hand
No graceful years
Just bitter ancient ground.
But it's over now

good gawd
sad man
couldn't face up to the yin and the yang
everybody
all of us got a shadow
who knows what lurks in the hearts of men
the shadow knows
we become what we do not what we pretend
between the intention and the expression
between the emotion and the response
falls the shadow
sometimes I fail to follow through
on things that I want to do
other times I find myself doing the very things I hate.

everybody
Now that the storm is over and the sun clears the sky,
it feels like everything’s so far away from yesterday.
All of your tears been dried by the hope that carries
you,
but deep inside your soul some doubts remain.
Sleepless nights caught in disbelief.
A broken heart that dwells in grief…
It’s only fear that your dreams are dying.
Hunt that shadow let it disappear.
It’s only fear that you break down crying.
Hunt that shadow let it disappear.
Nothing’s secure and save, you should prove yourself
and every break down will make you stronger.
All what happened makes you feel weak and blue,
it ain’t an easy life, but your fate is in your hands.
Sleepless nights caught in disbelief.
Shattered faith remains to be reborn.
It’s only fear that your dreams are dying.
Hunt that shadow let it disappear.
It’s only fear that you break down crying.
Hunt that shadow let it disappear.
Your fears… your insecurity… Hunt that shadow…
[SOLO]
It’s only fear that your dreams are dying.
Hunt that shadow let it disappear.
It’s only fear that you break down crying.
