The Princess Bride 4K UHD - The Criterion Collection (US Edition)

Equal parts fairy tale, swashbuckling adventure, and irreverent comedy, The Princess Bride is a timeless story of true love and high adventure. When the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped, it’s up to her long-lost love Westley—now a masked pirate—to rescue her, battling giants, sword-wielding Spaniards, and scheming princes along the way. Framed as a story read by a grandfather to his sick grandson, the film balances wit, warmth, and whimsy with an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman. Directed by Rob Reiner, The Princess Bride is a cult classic that charms adults and kids alike, with standout performances and a self-aware tone that parodies classic fantasy tropes while embracing their magic.
