Trama e commenti: cinema.lospettacolo.it - film.spettacolo.virgilio.it: «Gwyn, figlia di Robin Hood, si sostituisce al padre nella difesa dei più deboli quando il genitore viene catturato da Giovanni. Filippo, figlio di Riccardo, erede al trono dopo la morte del padre e troppo spaventato per reclamare ciò che gli spetta, si è rifugiato in Francia. Riuscirà Gwyn a rintracciarlo e a liberare il padre?».
Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - daily-reviews.com - en.wikipedia.org - lartdesmets.e-monsite.com - allmovie.com: «Keira Knightley stars in this made-for-TV Disney adventure that puts a spin on an often-told story. The film picks up years after the "known" events of the Robin Hood myth, centering on Robin's daughter, Gwyn, played by Knightley. As Maid Marian has passed away and Robin Hood (Stuart Wilson) is perpetually away battling in the Crusades, Gwyn has lived much of her life alone. She has grown up to be a strong-willed young woman with a talent for archery, much like her father. Her only friend is the sweet but plain Froderick (Del Synnott), who clearly is in love with her. Upon the death of Richard the Lionhearted, her father returns to see that the proper man takes Richard's place as king of England. But Robin is quickly foiled and imprisoned by the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham (Malcolm McDowell) and Prince John (Jonathan Hyde). It is then up to Gwyn to save the day. She must complete Robin's mission to find and protect the young Prince Philip (Stephen Moyer), who has just returned from exile in France to claim the throne -- not an easy task since he has decided to forsake his true identity and is traveling anonymously. Though she does fortuitously cross paths with the prince, she is not aware of his identity for much of the film. A romantic spark budding between them, they must find the Merry Men and join forces to free her father from the tortures of the Tower of London before the evil Prince John ascends to the thrown and brings England to ruin» (Dana Rowader).
