The Princess Bride is a 1989 American fantasy adventure comedy film directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner and starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, and Christopher Guest.
- Cary Elwes – Westley. Cary Elwes of Saw fame plays love-struck farmhand Westley who falls hard for Princess Buttercup. After leaving the fictional land of Florin to seek his fortune, he is attacked by pirates and presumed dead only to return five years later to find his beloved betrothed to another and kidnapped by outlaws.
- Robin Wright – Princess Buttercup. Played by House Of Cards’ Robin Wright, Buttercup is the Princess Bride of the title. After Westley goes missing Buttercup is forced to into an engagement with the odious Prince Humperdinck who plans to kill the princess-to-be and blame it on a neighboring country for political gain.
- Chris Sarandon – Prince Humperdinck. The sleazy Humperdinck is played by Chris Sarandon who also voiced Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- Wallace Shawn – Vizzini. Legend has it Danny DeVito was almost cast as villain Vizzini but it’s hard to imagine anyone other than Wallace Shawn playing him.
A delightfully postmodern fairy tale, The Princess Bride is a deft, intelligent mix of swashbuckling, romance, and comedy that takes an age-old damsel-in-distress story and makes it fresh.
