The scientist died before replacing the shy man's large shears with real hands. When Peg attempts to bring Edward into her suburban world, to live among her skeptical family (husband Alan Arkin and daughter Winona Ryder) and gossipy neighbors, his hands--dangerous yet capable of creating things of great beauty--make for some awkward, funny, and poignant situations: Edward as a topiary gardener, Edward as a cutting-edge hair stylist.

In the ironically surreal world of Edward's suburban community, he must try to find his place in it, and in the world at large.

Comments about Edward Scissorhands:
This is definitely one of my favourite films, I've loved it since I was a kid and I love the soundtrack too by Danny Elfman. A really magical film with links to reality.
