Followed by The Crow: City of Angels
A story as told by a young girl named Sarah about the legend of The Crow. She states that when a person dies, their soul is carried to the afterlife by a crow; however, if that person's soul is at unrest, the crow has the power to bring that person back to life so that they can right the wrongs that were done to them before they can have eternal peace in the afterlife.
The night before Halloween, rock guitarist Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) and his fiancée Shelly Webster (Sofia Shinas) are brutally murdered. Shelly had filed a petition against eviction from their loft apartment, so the building owner (a crime lord) sends four assassins to their apartment; they attack while Eric is out, brutally beating and gang-raping Shelly. Eric returns and is immediately hit with a throwing knife, collapsing to his knees. He is held while two of the men shoot him, then thrown out the window, falling six stories to his death. Shelly later dies from her injuries.
By the first anniversary of Eric and Shelly's deaths, their murders are still unsolved. On the anniversary, Draven returns from the grave, clawing his way up from the ground. He is met by a crow perched upon his headstone, his guide between the worlds of the living and the dead.
Draven staggers away from his grave, followed and at times led by the crow back to his old apartment, where he suffers flashbacks about the murders. Still confused by his situation, but determined to take his revenge, he paints his face white and black (like the crying opera mask which he uses in a flashback). He goes out and searches for the killers: T-Bird (David Patrick Kelly), Skank (Angel David), Tin Tin (Laurence Mason), and Funboy (Michael Massee). Draven kills them one by one until he is led to Top Dollar (Michael Wincott), the crime boss who masterminded Draven and Shelly's murders. Top Dollar and his half-sister and lover Myca (Bai Ling) seem to have some kind of stranglehold over the city.
Draven saves street waif Sarah (Rochelle Davis) from being run over by a car while she is skateboarding. Sarah was the daughter of the drug-addicted prostitute Darla (Anna Levine) and Shelly and Draven's sort-of protégé before they died, and she's the first person who recognizes Eric when he comes back from the dead, as he used a lyric from one of his songs: "It can't rain all the time." Later, Eric finds the police officer who dealt with his and Shelly's case, Albrecht (Ernie Hudson); he had stayed with Shelly until she died in hospital, and when he touches Draven, Draven suffers another flashback, experiencing all of Shelly's pain at once.
Draven finds Darla (Sarah's mother) with one of the murderers when he goes to kill him; he spares her, though, reminding her that she still has a daughter to take care of, and helping mother and daughter start fixing their relationship.
Sarah later goes to Eric and Shelly's abandoned loft apartment in hopes of finding him there. When he does not respond to her pleas to show himself, she thinks he no longer cares about her. However, Eric reveals himself as she tries to leave and tells her he hasn't forgotten about her. Sarah, happy to see her friend again, rushes over to hug him, and he later gives her Shelly's engagement ring to remind her of himself and Shelly.
When Top Dollar is informed of the deaths of his men, he orders Sarah's kidnapping, and she is taken when she walks away from Eric and Shelly's graves. Then Myca captures the crow and begins to sap Draven's supernatural powers. However, the crow is invincible, so when it is shot, it does not die, and in turn plucks out Myca's eyes, leading her to fall to her death.
Draven attempts to rescue Sarah from Top Dollar in the gothic church, and uses the last of his strength to send Top Dollar off the roof of the church and onto a sharp spike. When his mission is complete, and all those responsible for his and Shelly's murders are dead, Draven returns to the graveyard and is taken to the afterlife by Shelly's ghost. The crow sits once again on Eric's headstone and gives Sarah Shelly's engagement ring before flying off.
The film finishes with Sarah explaining the end of the legend.

In the original screenplay, there was a character called the Skull Cowboy, meant to be played by Michael Berryman, who acts as Eric's guardian angel, telling him exactly why he has come back, what he must do, and played an integral part in the final story line. According to the original screenplay, the reason Eric lost his powers is because he had finished what he came to do: get revenge on Shelly's and his own death. The Skull Cowboy tells him this when he returns to his grave, and stands on the steps of the church before he enters warning him he is now vulnerable. However, the character was cut in order to put more emphasis on the bird as a power link. The Skull Cowboy's character was later recycled on The Crow: Stairway to Heaven acting as a guide in the Land of the Living for souls in limbo.
