The spirit of adventure is alive and well in this
retooling of the exploits of a legendary hero, the valiant and principled
outlaw Robin Hood. Director Kevin Reynolds and screenplay writers Pen
Densham and John Watson have come up with just the right mix of action, dash,
romance, and humor.
With the
help of Azeem (Morgan Freeman), young nobleman Robin of Locksley (Kevin
Costner) escapes from a Middle Eastern prison and makes his way home to
England, where a rude surprise awaits him. His father has been murdered, King
Richard is in exile, and Prince John has usurped the throne. Locally, the
wicked Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman), has laid siege to the countryside.
Robin gathers his merry men and fights back, pausing only for romance with the
lovely, strong-willed Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio).
