The film begins with Robin Longstride, an archer in King Richard the Lionheart’s army, serving in the Crusades in France. After Richard’s death, Robin and his comrades Little John, Will Scarlet, and Allan A’Dayle desert the army and return to England.
On their journey home, they encounter an ambush led by the treacherous Godfrey, an English knight secretly working for the French. They manage to rescue the dying knight Robert of Locksley, who asks Robin to return his sword to his father in Nottingham.
Assuming Robert’s identity to avoid punishment for desertion, Robin travels to Nottingham with his companions. There, he meets Lady Marion Loxley, Robert’s widow, who is skeptical of his claims but eventually accepts his help in defending her estate from the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham and his men.
As Robin settles into his new role as protector of Nottingham, he becomes increasingly involved in the struggle against King John’s oppressive rule and Godfrey’s scheming. With the support of the barons and the common people, Robin leads a rebellion against the king’s unjust taxation and abuses of power.
Meanwhile, Robin’s true identity is revealed, and he is declared an outlaw by King John. With the help of his band of Merry Men, including Little John, Will Scarlet, Allan A’Dayle, and Friar Tuck, Robin continues to fight for justice and freedom for the people of England.
In the climax of the film, Robin and his allies confront Godfrey and his French allies in a final battle at Nottingham Castle. With the help of the barons and the people of Nottingham, they emerge victorious, defeating Godfrey and securing their freedom from tyranny.
The film ends with Robin and Marion looking towards the future, hopeful for a better tomorrow for England. Despite their victories, they know that their fight for justice is far from over, and they are ready to continue their struggle against oppression and tyranny.
