Snow White & the Huntsman is a 2012 American dark fantasy action-adventure film directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock, and Hossein Amini. Produced by Roth Films and distributed by Universal Pictures, the film is based on the Brothers Grimm's 1812 fairy tale "Snow White," and stars Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Sam Claflin. The plot follows princess Snow White, who grows up imprisoned by her evil stepmother, the powerful sorceress Ravenna. After Snow White escapes into the forest, Ravenna enlists a huntsman named Eric to capture her, but he eventually becomes Snow White's companion in a quest to overthrow Ravenna and end her dark reign.

Snow White & the Huntsman was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2012, and in the United States on June 1, 2012, by Universal Pictures. The film was a box office success, having grossed $396.6 million worldwide against a $170 million budget. Critics praised the production design and visual effects, and Theron's and Hemsworth's performances, as well as James Newton Howard's score, while the action sequences and Stewart's and Claflin's performances received mixed reviews. The film received two Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design at the 85th Academy Awards.

A sequel, titled The Huntsman: Winter's War, directed by the first film's visual effects supervisor Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, was released on April 22, 2016, with Hemsworth, Theron, Claflin, and Nick Frost reprising their roles.
