"Robin Hood" recreates "the chilvalry of England in all its glory" as it unveils the conflicts and betrayals that threaten to destroy the Kingdom of Richard the lion-hear. Fairbanks epitomizes the valiant, loyal knight immortalised in Arthurian legend, gently wooing the virtuous Lady Marian. When King Richard, and a band of warriors embark on a crusade to Palestine, Richard's conniving brother assumes the throne and turns the once-idyllic empire into a Dante-esque sty of corruption. In the darkest hour, however, The Earl of Huntingdon 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 standin the way of justice. - Director:
