With breathtaking archery, incredible swordplay, a feisty Marian and not a pair of tights in sight — this is a Robin Hood for a new generation. While this adaptation is modern, the core of this epic remains true to the legend. Newcomers Jonas Armstrong (Robin) and Lucy Griffiths (Marian) breathe new life into these classic roles. Keith Allen brings his own brand of malevolence to the Sheriff of Nottingham and Richard Armitage plays his handsome but sadistic sidekick, Guy of Gisbourne. Robin's gang of Merry Men — and women (this is a modern version) — include Will Scarlett, the ingenious engineer who can construct anything from any material; Little John, a muscle man who comes in handy when a little brute force is needed; Allan-a-Dale, a pathological liar and brilliant frontman for scams; and Djaq, a master of trickery and disguise who finds life more interesting when she passes for a man.
