Description
When her father is captured by The Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John, Robin Hood’s daughter sets out to help the son and rightful heir of King Richard the Lionheart sit on the throne as well as rescue her captive father.
Just as Robin Hood and Will Scarlett return from their most recent Crusade, King Richard is wounded and dying. Richard’s son Phillip must journey from France to England to stop the evil Prince John from assuming the throne. John’s henchmen are everywhere, set to assassinate Phillip before and after he arrives. Robin & Will are ordered to safely bring him in, but they’re captured. Robin’s fiery daughter Gwynn disguises herself as a boy to earn her father’s respect, since he forbade her to get involved because of a promise he made to her mother, the now dead Marian. After narrowly escaping death two times, Phillip and Gwynn team up to free Robin & Will and stop the Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John.
“It’s a clean film, with right triumphing over injustice.” – dove.org
“You might expect a made-for-TV movie about the adventures of Robin Hoods teenage daughter would make for an inevitably cheeseball affair. 98 times out of 100, you’d be correct, but Peter Hewitts “Princess of Thieves” bucks all the odds by turning out to be an entertaining little movie.” – eFilmCritic Reviews
“Between its talented cast and the old-fashioned swashbuckler “feel,” Princess of Thieves is perfect weekend viewing. Especially for those of us who, now and again, enjoy a nostalgic little trip down Disney lane.” – The Silver Petticoat Review
