In 13th century England, Robin (Crowe) and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power.
Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer from his service in King Richard's army against the French. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marian (Blanchett), a woman sceptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.
Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marian and salvage the village, Robin and his comrades from the crusades begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff. This is the telling of how Robin became the outlaw we know today.
