The Death of Robin Hood
Cast
Crew
Forget everything you know about the happy, arrow-shooting hero who “steals from the rich and gives to the poor.” Director Michael Sarnoski (who directed A Quiet Place: Day One) brings us “The Death of Robin Hood”, a very dark, serious, and realistic take on the famous English legend.
🏹 Based on a Real Ballad!
Did You Know? The movie is actually based on a very old, real 17th-century English poem called “Robin Hood’s Death”. While modern movies always show him as a perfect hero, this ancient ballad originally told the darker story of how the aging outlaw was betrayed and slowly bled out in a priory!
About the Movie – The Plot
An aging, grizzled Robin Hood is haunted by his brutal life of crime and murder. Gravely injured after a bloody battle, he finds refuge in a remote priory with a compassionate nun. In his final days, the ruthless outlaw must confront his violent past and seek a fragile chance at redemption.
