A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable 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 EIwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengefuI Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale fuIl of swashbuckIing, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessIy quotable script by WiIliam GoIdman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-taIe cIassic.
