BACK STORY

After years of brutal war in the Crusades Robin Hood, son of a wealthy Lord, returns home to England with his curious Moor companion Azeem only to find that his father has been accused of witchcraft and murdered, his land has been seized, and the entire county of Nottingham has been ravaged with taxes by the evil Sheriff and his pitiless band of knights.

By acquiring large sums of currency from the peasants of Nottingham, the Sheriff hopes to bribe King Richard’s enemies and powerful Barons to unite against him in a powerful alliance that would no doubt supplant the unsuspecting King. The only person that stands in his way is the battle hardened Robin of Loxley. By swearing an oath to avenge his father’s murder, Robin Hood sets out to obstruct the Sheriff’s plan by “robbing the rich to feed the poor”. He enlists the aid of a soiled band of peasants living in the haunted Sherwood Forest in order to carry out his rebellion, and in the process he falls in love with the beautiful Maid Marion, his late best friends’ sister. Protected by the ghostly barriers of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood builds an army of civilians to counter the Sheriff.

Fearing King Richards return, the Sheriff acquires the aid of ruthless mercenaries from the North in order to crush Robin Hood once and for all. He succeeds… Outnumbered and outmatched, Robin’s rebellion fails. But in a last effort to end the struggle for freedom, Robin Hood constructs an assault on the castle with the help of his closest companions, and in an epic dual Robin defeats the evil Sheriff with one swift stroke to the heart. Order is restored to Nottingham, King Richard returns from the Crusades with his throne intact, and Robin Hood marries Maid Marion.
