Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) is an iconic action-adventure film directed by Kevin Reynolds, featuring Kevin Costner in the role of the legendary outlaw Robin Hood. The film is a reimagining of the classic English folk tale, bringing a fresh perspective to the hero known for “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.”

Set during the reign of King Richard the Lionheart and the subsequent tyranny of his brother Prince John, the movie follows Robin Hood, a nobleman who returns home to England after fighting in the Crusades. Upon his return, he discovers that his father has been murdered and his ancestral lands have been taken over by the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham (played by Alan Rickman). Driven by vengeance and a sense of justice, Robin Hood forms an outlaw band with fellow outcasts, including his loyal companion Little John (played by Nick Brimble) and the quick-witted Will Scarlet (played by Christian Slater).

Robin Hood begins a campaign of resistance, stealing from the rich, fighting injustice, and rallying the common people against the oppressive rule of Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Along the way, Robin meets Maid Marian (played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), the spirited and independent woman who becomes his love interest, and the pair’s relationship adds both romance and emotional depth to the film.
