Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is an action-adventure film directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner as the titular hero. This reimagining of the classic Robin Hood legend combines swashbuckling action, romance, and humor, becoming one of the most iconic interpretations of the story.

After escaping imprisonment during the Crusades, Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner) returns to England to find his father murdered and his lands seized by the ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). Taking refuge in Sherwood Forest, Robin gathers a band of outlaws to fight against the Sheriff’s oppressive rule and redistribute wealth to the poor.
Robin’s mission grows more personal when he rekindles a romance with Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and discovers the Sheriff’s sinister plan to consolidate power through marriage and alliances. With the help of his loyal band, including Little John, Will Scarlet, and the enigmatic Azeem (Morgan Freeman), Robin launches a daring rebellion to restore justice and save England.
