Kevin Costner is Robin of Locksley, starring alongside fellow screen greats Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman, in this early '90s adaptation of the classic British tale.
When the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham (Rickman) murders Robin's father, the legendary archer vows vengeance. To accomplish his mission, Robin joins forces with a band of exiled villagers and Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), and together they battle to end the evil sheriff's reign of terror.
Bryan Adams' Oscar-nominated song for the film, (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, remains one of the best-selling singles of all time.

"(It) is a murky, unfocused, violent and depressing version of the classic story, with little of the lightheartedness and romance we expect from Robin Hood."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Dodgy history and dodgier accents, but Kevin Costner's medieval romp still has some magic."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"As much as Mr. Costner underplays Robin, Mr. Rickman overplays the Sheriff of Nottingham, with results that are similarly unfortunate."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"(Costner's) Robin is the doofiest yet put on film; it is almost impossible to accept him as a leader of men."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"It has the stars, it's based on a classic (and foolproof) story and it's an exhilarating couple of hours. It fills the entertainment megabill utterly."
—
The Washington Post
The Washington Post"After Alan Rickman's performance, the best thing about Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the big, sweeping, epic score courtesy of Michael Kamen."

—
Chicago Tribune

—
TV Guide
TV Guide"As Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, (Costner is) dismally out of place, a 1990s guy stranded in the 1190s."
