Robin Hood recreates the chivalry of England in all its glory as it unveils the conflicts and betrayals that threaten to destroy the kingdom of Richard the Lion-Hearted. As the Earl of Huntington, Fairbanks epitomizes the valiant, loyal knight immortalized in Arthurian legend, gently wooing the virtuous Lady Marian. When King Richard, Huntington and the band of Warriors embark on a crusade to Palestine, Richard's conniving brother John assumes the throne and turns the once-idyllic empire into a Dante-esque sly of corruption. In the darkest hour, however, Huntington shirks off his noble demeanor and is transfigured into Robin Hood, a hyper-animated avenger who, just a few leaps ahead of his merry men, breathlessly storms the battlements in pursuit of Prince John, the High Sheriff of Nottingham and all who stand in the way of justice.
