Set years after the original, the film finds Westley and Buttercup ruling their kingdom in peace… until rumors arise that Prince Humperdinck, presumed banished, has raised an army and seeks revenge. Meanwhile, a new villainous noble plots to seize the throne, and the couple’s spirited teenage daughter, Elora, yearns for adventure of her own, echoing her parents’ legendary love story.
The Princess Bride 2 captures the original’s unique blend of romance, humor, and swashbuckling action.

The dialogue sparkles with sharp comedic timing, while emotional scenes remind audiences that true love remains the most powerful force of all. The film is lush, colorful, and steeped in fantasy charm, creating a perfect blend of old and new.
At its core, The Princess Bride 2 is a story about the legacy of love, bravery, and storytelling itself. It’s a warm, clever, and thrilling ride destined to delight both longtime fans and newcomers eager to discover what it means when someone says: “As you wish.”
