Synopsis
Oscar nominee Johnny Depp stars in this Tim Burton classic (inspired by a drawing he did as a teenager) as Edward Scissorhands who lives high above the town in a lonely, gothic mansion.

But Edward wasn't a real man. His creator (Vincent Price) died before finishing poor Edward, leaving him with shears of metal where his fingers should have been; his hands were cold, but his heart was warm. Edward lived alone where he could hurt no one and no one could hurt him, until the day the Avon Lady came calling and he falls in love with a beautiful girl (Winona Ryder) and his life forever changes the town where he lives.

Support cast includes Dianne Wiest and Alan Arkin and Tom Jones sings a few tunes on the soundtrack.

Trivia: the houses used in the film were a real community in Florida, completely unchanged except for their garish exterior paint; this was Vincent Price's last screen appearance and his last moment ever on screen is a death scene; Johnny Depp had to lose weight for the role and said only 169 words in the film.
