Sometimes the only way to uphold justice is to break the law.
From Errol Flynn to Disney, Hollywood has long been fascinated with the legend of Robin Hood. Helmed by director Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld, The Count of Monte Cristo), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves pays homage to the past while transforming the famous outlaw of Sherwood Forest into a movie icon fit for the 1990s.
Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner, Waterworld) returns from the Crusades to find his father dead and vows revenge. With his Moorish companion Azeem (Morgan Freeman, Unforgiven), he joins a band of peasant rebels to do battle against the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman, Die Hard) and win the hand of the fair Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, The Abyss), cousin of the absent King of England.
This grand, swashbuckling adventure in the classic tradition is brought to life by an all-star supporting cast, including Christian Slater (True Romance), Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon) and a memorable cameo from Sean Connery (himself a former Robin Hood), plus an instantly recognisable score by Michael Kamen (Highlander) – not to mention a chart-topping Bryan Adams theme song. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves dazzles in an all-new 4K restoration, accompanied by a king's ransom of new and archival bonus features.

Essential (obvs)
A beautiful set full of lovingly produced extra bits - plenty of photos that I don't think we've seen before in the booklet and included as postcards, plus a couple of thoughtful essays which bring back (if you happen to have forgotten) just what made this film such eventful viewing for kids who lived through the early 90s. There's also a good set of extras on the disc itself - many have been released before, but they're worth revisiting, especially Michael Kamen's soundtrack (which cost me a pretty princely sum on its own when I bought it on cassette in 1994). It's about time we had a new documentary so that is a particularly welcome bonus. But the reason to buy this is the film itself, polished up and looking every bit as dazzling as it did in the summer of 1991. There is a timeless quality to Prince of Thieves - it was the last of the summer blockbusters before CGI started creeping into everything, so there's a purity to the filmmaking, an essential authenticity to the gorgeous wide shots and stunning location work - don't retread lazy criticisms of the film's geography, this is a fantasy England whose fairy tale Nottingham is filmed in the South of France, so if the route takes in stunning vistas of the Sussex Coast and the Aysgarth Falls via Hadrian's Wall then it's entirely in keeping with a production that makes England one of the stars of the show (even if another of the stars doesn't do the accent). There have been several attempts to do Robin Hood since, on film and television, but unless you count the more-or-less contemporaneous Maid Marian and her Merry Men none of them hold a candle to this one (there are a fair few treats for fans of Maid Marian here, too). This set also gives you the option of choosing between the extended cut and the (surprisingly little-seen) uncut theatrical release, and whilst nobody in their right mind is going to say no to more of Alan Rickman's scenery-chewing magnificence, the theatrical cut is probably the slicker, more elegant version. Anyway: no need to choose any more, you can have them both.
