Directed by Rob Reiner, The Princess Bride is a story of fencing, fighting, true love, miracles, and a few rodents of unusual size. The great Peter Falk narrates this romantic tale, following the beautiful maiden Buttercup and her one true love, a young farm hand named Westley. After Westley is captured by a ruthless pirate and presumed dead, Buttercup’s unhappy marriage to the horrible Prince Humperdinck seems inevitable. But before the wedding can take place, she’s kidnapped by three outlaws and it’s up to a mysterious Man in Black to come to her rescue...
