This revisionist version of the Robin Hood story "Nottingham" is based on the premise that Robin Hood was less virtuous and the sheriff more noble than previously depicted. Crowe stars as the Sheriff of Nottingham in a scenario that sees him more noble lawman than an evil king's right-hand man and facing off with a more shadier Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest.

TRIVIA

Universal bought the spec script by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, creators of the Showtime series "Sleeper Cell," in an auction for seven figures.
