Robin Hood - DVD

In the 13th century, the British Isles were not an ideal place to live. The already poor country was funding the ambitious crusades of its king, Richard. Among his troops, an anonymous archer named Robin (Russell Crowe) defended the questionable honour of the English Crown. He witnesses the king's death during the siege of a French castle and, along with a few companions, decides to make his own way home to England as quickly as possible after years of trekking across the world.

He finds himself in the county of Nottingham, ruled by the unscrupulous sheriff (Matthew Macfadyen). Few dare to defy him, but one exception is Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett), who manages her father-in-law's (Max von Sydow) estate while her husband fights for the king. The situation worsens after Richard's death when the weak King John ascends to the throne, with his court advisor Gisborne (Mark Strong) secretly plotting a French invasion of the country.
But in the hour of greatest need, the time for heroes arrives. Heroes like Robin. A man who will attempt to give meaning to empty concepts like law, justice, and national pride.
