‘The Princess Bride’ Plot Synopsis
In The Princess Bride, three men kidnap the lovely Buttercup who’s engaged to the local prince, Humperdinck, of Florin. The men intend to kill her so they can start a war with a neighboring country of Guilder. Soon after the men kidnap the princess, they find the Dread Pirate Roberts is closely in pursuit of their prize. Unbeknownst to everyone, the Dread Pirate Roberts is secretly Buttercup’s true love, Westley, whom she thought Roberts murdered years ago. Prince Humperdinck is soon in hot pursuit of Buttercup, even though he can care less about her. This sets the stage for sword fights, fire swamps, and death, mostly death. But will a sick little boy allow for the kissy bits of the story to happen? Watch the movie to find out.
