Features: DVD, Spanish, Subtitled
Academy Award®-winner Kevin Costner triumphs as the legendary Sherwood Forest outlaw leader in this epic adventure bringing a 12th-century medieval world to spectacular screen life. Enhancing the sheer fun of this audience rouser are 12 added minutes of footage not seen in theatres, especially more of the juicy malevolence and sinister background of Robin Hood's archenemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio also star in this lavish production lensed in Britain and France, where historic structures, majestic forests and vividly realistic recreations of Olde England combine to create a world at once ancient and ageless.
"One of the most spectacular movie's ever made." Arch Campbell, WRC-TV/NBC
"...It has the stars, it's based on a classic (and foolproof) story and it's an exhilarating couple of hours." Desson Howe, Washington Post
