Description of this Movie Hook Poster
Hook is a 1991 American adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by James V. Hart and Malia Scotch Marmo. It stars Robin Williams as Peter Banning/Peter Pan, Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Bob Hoskins as Mr. Smee and Maggie Smith as by Grandma Wendy. It is a sort of sequel to the novel Peter and Wendy by JM Barrie (1911), which features an adult Peter Pan who has forgotten his childhood. In his new life he is known as Peter Banning, a successful but unimaginative and workaholic lawyer, with a wife (Wendy's granddaughter) and two children. However, when Captain Hook, the enemy from his past, kidnaps his children, he returns to Neverland to save them. During this journey, he regains memories of his past and becomes a better person.
Spielberg began developing Hook in the early 1980s with Walt Disney Productions and Paramount Pictures, which would have followed the Peter Pan story seen in the 1924 silent film and the 1953 Disney animated film. in pre-production in 1985, but Spielberg abandoned it. Hart developed the script with director Nick Castle and TriStar Pictures before Spielberg decided to direct it in 1989. The film was shot almost entirely on sound stages at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
Released on December 11, 1991, Hook received mixed reception from critics, who praised the performances (especially those of Robin Williams and Hoffman), John Williams' musical score, and the production values, but criticized the storyline and tone. Although the film was a commercial success, its box office receipts were lower than expected. Despite receiving five nominations at the 64th Academy Awards, Spielberg was disappointed with Hook. Nevertheless, the film has become very popular since its release and has spawned spin-off products, including video games, action figures, and comic book adaptations.
Peter Banning, a successful San Francisco business lawyer, is a workaholic, which takes a toll on his relationship with his wife Moira and their children Jack and Maggie. After promising to attend at least one of Jack's baseball games, but missing the entire season, Peter flies with his disappointed family to London to visit Wendy Darling, Moira's grandmother. In London, Peter, Moira and Wendy attend a charity dinner in Wendy's honor at Great Ormond Street Hospital, leaving the children with Tootles, Wendy's old friend, and Liza, the housekeeper. When they return, they find the house broken into and the children missing, as well as a ransom note signed by Captain James Hook. Peter appeals to the authorities, but they are unable to help him. Wendy insists that only he can save Jack and Maggie, because he really is Peter Pan; Peter refuses to believe her.
Later, in the nursery, he meets Tinkerbell, who takes him to Neverland. She drops Peter off at Hook's pirate lair, where he reveals himself to Smee and Hook. Surprised at how weak and old Peter has become, Hook challenges him to fly and save his children, preparing to execute him if he fails. Tinkerbell intervenes and persuades Hook to free Peter instead, promising to train him in combat over the next three days and give him the fight he desires. Peter is then taken to the hideout of the Lost Boys, now led by Rufio. The boys make fun of Peter, but eventually recognize and train him, encouraging him to use the power of imagination to help him regain his memory and abilities. One of the boys, Thud Butt, gives Peter an old bag of marbles belonging to the old Lost Boy Tootles.
Meanwhile, Hook laments that he can't get revenge on Peter, until Smee suggests manipulating the Banning children into switching sides. This plan fails with Maggie, but Jack is swayed by Peter's broken promises. During training to steal Hook's prosthetic, Peter sees Jack playing in a baseball game Hook is hosting. Disappointed that Jack treats Hook like a father figure, Peter returns to the Lost Children's camp with renewed determination. After seeing her shadow move independently, Peter follows it and discovers the original treehouse where Wendy and her brothers stayed. Inside, Tinker Bell helps Peter remember how he got lost as a baby in the early 1900s, how she brought him to Neverland, how he had many adventures, and how he met the Darlings for the first time. He also remembers visiting Wendy frequently after the Darlings returned to London, until Wendy became too old to return. Although heartbroken, Peter then falls in love with Moira, Wendy's granddaughter, and chooses to stay, due to his desire to become a father. He was adopted by the Bannings, but at the cost of his memories.
The memory of Jack's birth is the strong, happy thought that restores Peter's ability to fly, making him become Peter Pan again. Rufio hands Peter his sword in reverence and the Lost Boys celebrate. That night, Tinkerbell declares her love for Peter by kissing him. However, Peter still chooses his family and declares his love for Moira. Although he is heartbroken by her rejection, Tinkerbell accepts him and encourages him to go and save his children.
The next day, Peter and the Lost Children fight Hook and his pirates as Jack watches. Hook's crew eventually surrenders, but Rufio duels Hook and is mortally wounded. In his last breath, Rufio regrets not having had a father like Peter. Jack comes to his senses and reconciles with his father. In the ensuing fight, Peter defeats Hook, who is devoured by the reanimated corpse of the taxidermied crocodile. Tinkerbell takes Jack and Maggie back to London, and Peter appoints Bouboule as her successor.
Peter wakes up in Kensington Gardens. Tinkerbell appears and bids Peter an emotional farewell before leaving. Finding his family in Wendy's house, Peter decides to devote more time to them. He also gives Tootles back his bag of marbles; Tootles happily sprinkles himself with pixie dust and flies away. As the family watches Tootles return to Neverland, Wendy points out to Peter that his adventures are truly over; Peter replies that "to live would be a very big adventure".
