Edward Scissorhands

Edward, a young man with scissors for hands, is created by an old Inventor who intended to build the perfect boy. Tragically, the Inventor passes away from a heart attack before he can finish his work, leaving Edward as an incomplete being, 'unfinished' forever.

Years later, local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs discovers Edward living alone in his dilapidated mansion. Recognizing that he poses no threat, she takes him home, beginning a new chapter in both their lives.

Upon moving in with the Boggs family, Edward quickly befriends Peg's son Kevin and husband Bill. As he integrates into their family dynamic, he develops feelings for Peg’s beautiful daughter, Kim, despite her initial fears.

Edward's unique abilities in hedge-trimming and hairstyling captivate the attention of Peg's neighbors. His talents initially win them over, but not everyone is pleased; some remain skeptical and are hostile towards him.

Intrigued by Edward, local housewife Joyce proposes that he open a hair salon with her. However, when her advances towards him become inappropriate, Edward panics and escapes, showcasing his vulnerability and fear.

Kim's boyfriend Jim manipulates Edward into assisting with a burglary at his parents' house. When the alarm goes off, Jim abandons Edward, leading to his arrest and revealing his naïve innocence in a harsh world.

After Edward's arrest, Joyce falsely accuses him of attempted assault, damaging his reputation in the community. As a consequence, Edward and the Boggs family become increasingly isolated, facing hostility from their neighbors.

During Christmas preparations, Edward creates a beautiful angel ice sculpture that magically makes it appear as if snow is falling. This moment brings joy to Kim, providing a fleeting sense of normalcy amid their turmoil.

An altercation occurs when Jim, seeking to undermine Edward, distracts Kim, resulting in Edward accidentally cutting her hand. This event spirals into further violence as Jim retaliates against Edward in a fit of rage.

In a protective instinct, Edward saves Kevin from an oncoming car, but unintentionally injures him in the process. This incident fuels suspicion and fear in the community, deepening Edward's isolation.

As local law enforcement closes in, Edward retreats to his mansion, pursued by an angry mob of neighbors outraged by the perceived threat he poses. The situation escalates as tensions in the community reach a boiling point.

During a violent confrontation, Jim attacks Edward, provoking a desperate act of self-defense. In the struggle, Edward stabs Jim, resulting in a tragic fall that transforms the already tumultuous situation into a full-blown tragedy.

As the chaos unfolds, Kim confesses her love for Edward, sharing a poignant goodbye. She takes it upon herself to shield him from blame, spinning a story to the townsfolk that he acted in self-defense during Jim's attack.

The story concludes with the elderly woman—revealed to be Kim in her later years—confiding to her granddaughter about her memories of Edward. She reflects on his unique existence and how he creates snow with his ice sculptures.

Kim bittersweetly recounts the times she and Edward shared under the falling snow. She notes that he chooses not to visit her, preserving the magic and innocence of their memories while evoking a sense of longing.
