The Golden Compass is a 2007 fantasy adventure film directed by Chris Weitz. It is an adaptation of the fantasy novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. The story is set in an alternate Earth where magic exists and every person is accompanied by a dæmon, a manifestation of their inner spirit represented by an intelligent animal. Orphan Lyra Belacqua embarks on a journey to the Arctic to search for her kidnapped friends while being pursued by agents of the Magisterium, a powerful religious order. Along the way, Lyra uncovers a conspiracy that has the potential to change the world.
This is the first screen adaptation of the His Dark Materials book series. A television series adaptation was also produced and premiered in the UK on BBC and in the US on HBO in 2019.
The following weapons were used in the film The Golden Compass:
Lee Scoresby (Sam Elliott) owns a Single Action Army with a "Cavalry" length barrel, which he pulls at one point. According to PropStore ([1]) Sam Elliott's character should have used the custom Gasser M1880 Montenegrin ([2]), "and can be spotted in one of the behind the scenes extras on the DVDs being showcased, but the through and through Texan insisted on a Colt instead."
Ma Costa (Clare Higgins) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 during the final battle. Most likely the same movie prop appeared in hands of other Gyptian man.
A Harrington & Richardson "Handy-Gun" pistol-shotgun is Ma Costa's (Clare Higgins) firearm of choice. A Gyptian man also uses a similar pistol during the standoff in the northern port.
