While home sick in bed, a young boy (Fred Savage)'s grandfather (Peter Falk) reads him a story called The Princess Bride. It's about the beautiful Buttercup (Robin Wright) and how she is kidnapped by nasty Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) and saved by her childhood stableboy Westley (Cary Elwes), now known as the Dread Pirate Roberts, along with his helpers-swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) and the friendly giant Fezzik (André René Roussimoff). Together, they must brave such hazards as Fire Swamps, Shrieking Eels, and Rodents of Unusual Size (ROUS).

The Princess Bride is a 1973 novel written by American novelist, William Goldman. In the movie, the book is presented as if it were a work by an author named S. Morgenstern.

Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) was hired by Prince Humperdinck to kill Buttercup in order to start a war between the kingdoms of Florin and Guilder. The novel (but not the film) provides an elaborate backstory in which Humperdinck is engaged to marry a Guilderian princess to end strife between Florin and Guilder, but when the princess is revealed to be secretly bald, he furiously cancels the engagement and orders his advisors to find the most beautiful Florinese woman possible as his new bride, one who will be extremely popular with the common people, making her assassination an ideal pretext for war.

There is no film sequel. For years a sequel to the book, named Buttercup's Baby, was rumored to be in the works. Some editions of the book even contained an address to which readers could write for information. Those who wrote in received a short sample chapter from the rumored book. However, this sample chapter was all that existed. In a 2007 interview, Goldman hinted that he may write the full book, but he died in 2018 before it was completed.
