A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay. A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingIy allows 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 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 cIassic.
