An outlaw defies the king, stealing for the poor.
In a land where the king's greed knows no bounds, an audacious outlaw emerges. Robin Hood, with his merry band, dares to rob the rich and aid the destitute. As he poaches the king's deer and empties royal coffers, his legend grows. But how long can he evade capture, and will his generosity be enough to inspire a revolution? Dive into the thrilling tale of a hero who risks everything for justice.
Ballads from the Middle Ages tell of Robin Hood and his merry band, who lived in Sherwood Forest and robbed from the rich to give to the poor. To this day, Robin Hood remains a popular hero in story and on film.
