As with his reinvention of the Roman epic in Galdiator, Scott goes back to basics to tell the story of how an archer in the service of King Richard the Lionheart came to be known as Robin Hood, the most famous outlaw of English Folklore. Beginning after the death of King Richard at the siege of Chalus Chabrol, the film follows Robin on his rise to infamy among the English Barons and the newly crowned King John. Featuring historically accurate characters such as Sir William Marshall and grounded in reality (in a similar way to Gladiator), this is not Robin Hood as you have seen him before, rather the making of the legend we have come to know him as now.
