Crowe stars as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the revisionist interpretation in which Nottingham is portrayed as a noble lawman working for a corrupt king and involved in a love triangle with Maid Marion and Robin Hood.
The film reunites Scott and Crowe. Scott directed the Academy Award winner in "Gladiator," "A Good Year" and the upcoming "American Gangster."
