With their help he attempts to cleanse the land of the evil that the Sheriff has spread.
A reworking of the legend with a stand-out performance by Alan Rickman as the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams and John Lange).
This film is a '90s version of the classic Robin Hood story, with Kevin Costner starring as the good-guy thief. Costner is joined in his efforts against the murdering Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) by Morgan Freeman who plays a philosophizing Moor, and by Nick Brimble, who plays Little John (anything but little). After Robin barely survives a watery skirmish with Little John, the two become allies and Robin joins forces with Little John's band of robber thieves to overcome the evils of the dastardly Nottingham sheriff.
Robin of Locksley zit na de kruistochten gevangen in Turkije. Hij ontsnapt dankzij de hulp van Moorse medegevangenen. Wanneer de twee terugkomen in Engeland komt Robin er achter dat zijn vader gedood is door de Sheriff van Nottingham en dat het volk door hem onderdrukt wordt. Hij vlucht naar Sherwood Forrest om van hier uit samen met het volk van Sherwood een rebellenstrijd aan te gaan met de sheriff.
