A grandfather (Falk) reads a story to his grandson (Savage) about a beautiful young woman named Buttercup (Wright), who is kidnapped and held against her will in order to marry the detestable Prince Humperdinck (Sarandon). Her childhood sweetheart, Westley (Elwes), embarks on a journey to save her.
A truly beautiful film, which is incidentally my family’s annual night before Christmas movie. It is 'inconceivable' how many quotable lines there are (excellent drinking game) which all still bring a smile to my face even after 20 plus viewings. I can tell you there’s fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles, six fingered men and rodents of unusual size. I swear on the soul of my father, Domingo Montoya, you will enjoy this movie
great movie cary elwes is gorgeous and a great actor.
