Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

A battle‑scarred Robin of Locksley returns home to find his family slain and the kingdom under a tyrannical sheriff’s grip, forcing him to unite with a loyal Moor and fulfill a dying comrade’s oath to protect Marian while igniting a rebellion that could restore King Richard’s rule.

“For the good of all men, and the love of one woman, he fought to uphold justice by breaking the law.”

Synopsis

Robin of Locksley, a nobleman and crusader, escapes from a Jerusalem prison with the assistance of his Moorish fellow prisoner, Azeem, and returns to England. Upon his arrival, he finds his father dead and his family estate in ruins, the result of the sheriff of Nottingham's cruelty. Robin and Azeem then unite with the outlaws Little John and Will Scarlett to confront the sheriff and protect the kingdom from his tyranny.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 233+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 8.1× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
