The Craft is a 1996 American supernatural horror film directed by Andrew Fleming and starring Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True. The film's plot centers on a group of four outcast teenage girls who pursue witchcraft for their own gain, but soon encounter negative repercussions from their actions. The film was released on May 3, 1996, by Columbia Pictures and it was a surprise hit, earning $55 million against a budget of $15 million. In the years since its release, the film has accrued a significant cult following.
Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney), a troubled teenager, has just moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles with her father and stepmother. At her new school, she encounters a group of outcast girls rumored to be witches, Bonnie (Neve Campbell), Nancy (Fairuza Balk) and Rochelle (Rachel True). At the same time, Sarah becomes attracted to a popular football player Chris (Skeet Ulrich), who warns her against associating with the three girls.
After Chris humiliates Sarah by spreading false rumors about having had sex with her, Sarah forms a friendship with the other girls. Sarah exhibits supernatural powers from the onset of the film (revealed as being a "natural witch," i.e. born with her powers) and her new friends believe that she will complete their coven, making them all-powerful. They tell her that they worship a powerful god named "Manon", who controls the elements. When Sarah is harassed by a vagrant with a snake (whom she had encountered before in her new house), he is immediately hit by a car and the girls believe that together they willed it to happen.
