On the Planet Eternia, at the centre of the universe, the forces of Skeletor (Frank Langella) have managed to seize control over Castle Grayskull, and after defeating (off-panel) the biggest part of Eternia’s armies, capture the Sorceress of Grayskull (Christina Pickles). Skeletor is planning to exploit Grayskull’s hidden powers when the “Great Eye of the Galaxy”, a portal in the castle’s throne room, opens and Eternia’s moon is correctly aligned with it.

The remaining Eternian forces are scattered and outnumbered. One of Skeletor’s patrols is attacked by Eternia’s greatest warrior and Skeletor’s archenemy, He-Man (Dolph Lundgren), veteran soldier Man-At-Arms (Jon Cypher) and his daughter Teela (Chelsea Field). During the battle, He-Man rescues a Thenorian inventor/locksmith named Gwildor (Billy Barty), who reveals to his rescuers his newest invention: a “Cosmic Key”, which can open a portal to any location in time and space. Skeletor stole the Key from him and used it to get into Castle Grayskull, but Gwildor managed to keep the prototype. Gwildor leads the others into a secret passageway straight to the Castle before a field commander of Skeletor’s armies named Karg could storm inside the house of the Thenorian.

At Grayskull, the group is surrounded by Skeletor and his troops. Gwildor uses his key to open a random gateway through which the group escapes to Earth, but on arriving there, the key is lost and the Eternians split up to find it. Nearby, in the village of Whittier, California, two teenagers, Julie Winston (Courteney Cox) and Kevin Corrigan (Robert Duncan McNeill), discover the Key in a crater, and start pressing its buttons. Back at Grayskull, Skeletor’s second-in-command, Evil-Lyn (Meg Foster), tracks the Key to Earth and prepares a small team of mercenaries to recover it. They consist of Saurod, Blade, Beast Man, and Karg appointed as their leader. Read more
