Hollywood legend Kevin Costner has starred in several blockbusters, such as The Untouchables (1987), Bull Durham (1988), Dances with Wolves (1990), JFK (1991), The Bodyguard (1992), Waterworld (1995), Man of Steel (2013), Hidden Figures (2016), and more. He is also prominent for playing John Dutton III in the hit neo-Western drama series Yellowstone. One of his all-time classics will surely entertain you! We are talking about Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), streaming currently on Netflix.
Prince of Thieves serves as a modern take on the classic tale of Robin Hood. Costner plays the protagonist, who turns into an outlaw from an English nobleman. He returns to his homeland only to discover his homeland under the control of the tyrannical Sheriff of Nottingham (played by Alan Rickman). Robin receives the aid of Will Scarlet (Christian Slater) and Little John (Morgan Freeman) to free Lady Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), who also happens to be his love interest in the film. It functions as a perfect blend of romance, action, drama, and adventure as Robin and his gang fight hard to take back control of Nottingham Castle.
It is Alan Rickman who truly steals the show in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. His role as Sheriff is too good in the film. Smoothly led by Costner, the rest of the film’s cast does a good job as well. Additionally, the film’s action sequences are entertaining and thrilling.
The film was a massive box office success upon its theatrical release, earning over $390 million globally against a budget of $48 million.
Helmed by Kevin Reynolds, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is now available on Netflix. Enjoy!
