More on Robin Hood:
In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders
confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the
crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether
thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal
symbol of freedom for his people.
Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously
interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s
army against the French.
Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to
Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff
and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady
Marion (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity
and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the
hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang
whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life.
Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct
injustices under the sheriff.
With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the
ineffective rule of the new king and vulnerable to insurgencies from
within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever
greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to
protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return
glory to England once more.
