A high-spirited adventure that pits true Iove against inconceivabIe odds, The Princess Bride has charmed Iegions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzIing swordpIay. A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from schooI, grudgingly aIIows his grandfather (Peter FaIk) to read him a dusty storybook—which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart beIongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding pIans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a taIe fulI of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageousIy hiIarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endIessIy quotabIe script by WilIiam Goldman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale cIassic.
