The Princess Bride is a 1987 American film adapted by William Goldman from his 1973 novel The Princess Bride. It tells the story of a farmhand named Westley, accompanied by companions befriended along the way, who must rescue his true love Princess Buttercup from the odious Prince Humperdinck. The film preserves the novel's metafictional narrative style by presenting the story as a book being read by a grandfather (Peter Falk) to his sick grandson (Fred Savage).

Director: Rob Reiner
Book Author and Screenplay by: William Goldman
