Robin Hood [DVD]

England, 13th century. Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe), a magnificent archer who has fought in the Crusades in the service of King Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston), returns from the Holy Land fighting the French and plundering towns. When Richard is killed by an arrow, Robin moves to Nottingham to fulfill a promise he made to Sir Robert Loxley (Douglas Hodge) before he died: to take his sword to his father, Sir Walter Loxley (Max Von Sydow). There he meets Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett), Loxley's widow. Meanwhile, in England, John Landless (Oscar Isaac) reigns, a king without character and unable to face both internal rebellions and external threats plotted by the perfidious Godfrey (Mark Strong). The objective of Robin and his men will be to prevent a bloody civil war and restore glory to their country.
