Princess Bride, The

Princess Bride, The

1987

In this enchantingly cracked fairy tale, the beautiful Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright) and the dashing Wesley (Cary Elwes) must overcome staggering odds to find happiness. Giants, swordsmen, six-fingered counts, murderous princes, Sicilians, pirates, rodents of unusual size and even death cannot stop true love from triumphing. Mandy Patinkin and Andre the Giant costar in this modern classic.

The story of a man and a woman who lived happily ever after. Even though the courtship almost killed them.
