Genres: Adventure, Children's/Family
Rating:

Based on William_Goldman's novel of the same name, The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter_Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred_Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. Indeed, The Princess Bride offers a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale depicting stable boy-turned-pirate Westley's journey to rescue Buttercup (Robin_Wright), his true love, away from the evil prince (Chris_Sarandon), whom she had agreed to marry five years after learning of what she had believed to be news of Westley's death. With help from Prince Humperdinck's disgruntled former employee Miracle Max (Billy_Crystal), swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy_Patinkin), and a very large man named Fezzik (Andre the Giant), the star-crossed lovers are reunited. Tracie Cooper, Rovi
