The 1987 quirky fairy tale directed by Rob Reiner follows Wesley (Cary Elwes), a farm boy who falls in love with Buttercup (Robin Wright), the daughter of the family for whom he works. Wesley goes to sea to try to earn money so they can be together, but soon a multitude of obstacles stand in their way, including a sinister prince, a man with six fingers, a sword-fighting Spaniard, and a Machiavellian plotter who likes to shout, "Inconceivable!" The writer of the original book, William Goldman, visited the set one day when a scene was being filmed in which Wright's dress became engulfed in flames when she was in a fire swamp. Goldman got so caught up in the scene that he yelled, "Her dress is on fire!" and they had to shoot the scene again.
