The Princess Bride (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD]

As you wish.

Few films are as universally beloved—or as endlessly quotable—as The Princess Bride, a high-spirited fairy-tale adventure that blends romance, swashbuckling action, and irreverent comedy into pure movie magic.

When a sick boy (Fred Savage) reluctantly listens to a bedtime story read by his grandfather (Peter Falk), he’s swept into the tale of Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), a young woman forced to marry the vile Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) despite her true love for the farmhand-turned-hero Westley (Cary Elwes).

Their story is hilariously interrupted by a mysterious masked pirate, a vengeful Spaniard (Mandy Patinkin), a gentle giant (André the Giant), and a rogues’ gallery of unforgettable characters brought to life by Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, and Christopher Guest.

Directed by Rob Reiner and written by William Goldman from his own novel, The Princess Bride balances sincerity and satire with effortless grace—celebrating true love, friendship, bravery, and the joy of storytelling itself.

This Criterion Collection 4K UHD edition presents the film in a beautiful new restoration with Dolby Vision HDR and an astonishing array of supplements, making it the definitive home-video release of a fairy-tale classic.
