Robin Hood (2010)
The action film, Robin Hood (2010), directed by Ridley Scott, is based on the legendary character of the same name. The story takes place in 1199 AD and follows Robin Longstride, a skilled archer serving in the army of King Richard the Lionheart. Having experienced the hardships of Richard’s crusade, Robin and his fellow soldiers find themselves in a siege at Chalus Castle. Tired and disenchanted, Robin speaks honestly about the King’s leadership when asked by him and as a result, he and his comrades – Allan A’Dayle, Will Scarlett, and Little John – end up in the stocks. When King Richard is killed during an attack on the castle, they seize the opportunity to escape and go their separate ways. However, they soon come across a plot by Godfrey – an English knight working with King Philip of France to murder King Richard. After thwarting Godfrey’s plans and disguising themselves as English knights, they return to England with determined resolve.
Before setting sail for England, Robin makes a vow to honor a dying knight’s last wish – Sir Robert Loxley – by returning his sword to his father in Nottingham. Upon awakening to their ship’s arrival in the Thames estuary, Robin must continue to maintain his Loxley identity in order to inform the royal family of King Richard’s demise. He becomes a witness to the coronation of King John, who then proceeds to impose harsh new taxes. Despite being Lord Chancellor during the reign of John’s father, William Marshal opposes these taxes and is subsequently relieved of his position. In response, King John sends Godfrey to collect the taxes in the North, unaware that Godfrey plans to use French troops to incite rebellion and prepare for an invasion led by King Philip. In a covert operation, spies working for Marshal track Godfrey’s men and uncover evidence of the planned invasion.
