A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensembIe, and dazzling swordplay. A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingIy allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook—which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout roIe), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to WestIey (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckIing, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessIy quotabIe script by William GoIdman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale classic.
