The Princess Bride is a 1987 American fantasy adventure comedy film directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner and starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, and Robin Wright.

The film preserves the novel's metafictional narrative style by presenting the story as a book being read by a grandfather to his sick grandson.
