Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was a 1991 film directed by Kevin Reynolds.

Kevin Costner heads the cast list as Robin Hood. The film also starred Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Maid Marian, Morgan Freeman as Azeem, Christian Slater as Will Scarlett and Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham.

The film is remembered as the movie behind the Bryan Adams soundtrack (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (available on Waking Up the Neighbours) which broke pop charts records for the length of time it remained at Number One.

The film was well-received at the box office, though critics complained about Costner's on-again, off-again British accent. Rickman's comedic performance as the Sheriff garnered wide praise, however.
