Description:
Academy AwardÂ(r) nominee* Liam Neeson and Best Actress OscarÂ(r) winner** Jessica Lange give extraordinary performances as the legendary hero who refused to let his enemies destroy his honor and the loyal woman who gave him the courage to fight. Boasting "the best direction, acting, writing and technical credits [and] one of the great action sequences in movie history" (Roger Ebert), Rob Roy is a thrilling, powerful adventure and "one of the best films of the year" (GeneSiskel). When a harsh winter threatens the majestic Scottish Highlands, Rob Roy MacGregor (Neeson) is forced to borrow money from the less-than-noble Marquis of Montrose (John Hurt) to provide for his clan. But when Montrose's henchman (Tim Roth, in an OscarÂ(r)-nominated*** performance) conspires to take the wealth for himself, Rob is thrust into the most challenging battle of his life...one that escalates into an exhilarating climax that will captivate you to the film's finalframe. *1993: Actor, Schindler's List **1994: Blue Sky ***1995: Supporting Actor
Amazon.com essential video:
One of the most invigorating period adventures to hit the big screen in decades, this lavish, brilliantly directed film drew critical and audience raves when it was released in 1995. Inspired by historical fact and larger-than-life legend, the intelligently scripted story takes place in Scotland in 1713, when Highland farmer and clan leader Rob Roy MacGregor (Liam Neeson) is forced to borrow money from the duplicitous aristocrat Marquis of Montrose (John Hurt) to help his clan survive a harsh winter. When Montrose's vile henchman (Tim Roth) schemes to dishonor MacGregor and his wife (Jessica Lange) and take the money for himself, the rugged Highlander must take courageous action to preserve his integrity. What follows--along with some of the finest sword-fighting ever filmed--is a tale of courage and valor destined to become an enduring movie classic. Tim Roth received a well-deserved Oscar nomination (for Best Supporting Actor) for his indelible performance as the foppish but deadly villain Cunningham, and both Neeson and Lange bring an earthy, sensual quality to their passionate roles. Boasting a wealth of breathtaking scenery and high-intensity action, Rob Roy is further blessed by a splendid supporting cast (including Brian Cox and Eric Stoltz), and the lush soundtrack by Carter Burwell strikes a perfect balance of romanticism and vigorous dramatic energy. --Jeff Shannon

Rob Roy is an absolutely splendid, swashbuckling tale full of villainy, beautiful lasses and strapping lads. It ends with a sword-fight so thrilling Roger Ebert writes the filmmakers "re-invent the exercise".
Liam Neeson brings 1700s Scottish legend Rob Roy MacGregor to life in a performance that makes the hero seem ten feet tall, bulletproof, and passionately human. His performance would be reason enough to watch this movie, but the rest of the film is fleshed out with supporting ... Read More

I love movies like this.
If you liked Braveheart, you will truly enjoy this engaging film, despite the historical and chronological differences. Liam Neeson plays Rob Roy, a simple Scotsman looking to make a living with his family in the Highlands of Scotland. During the course of events, the actions of some dishonorable people force Rob into action to save the livlihood of his family and his clan.
This, quite simply, is a very great film. I bought it, wathced it, then ... Read More

The most common praise I hear about "Rob Roy" is that it is better than "Braveheart". This is an odd connection because these films could not be so dissimilar. The only trait common to these films is that they both were released in 1995 and that they're set in Scotland. The greatest compliment I can give is that even at a less than lean running time of 2 hours 19 minutes director Michael Caton-Jones keeps you riveted throughout. The action is the selling point but the witty dialogue and the impeccable ... Read More

I love this movie and Liam Neeson could not have been a better Rob Roy. It is the story that makes you smile and makes you cry and is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. The love Rob Roy had for his family and his countrymen, amazing

I have the greatest respect for Liam Neeson as an actor. This movie does not come up to the standard I had associated with his work. He could have done much better in a leading role elsewhere. The movie starts out with a bit (and I do mean a bit) of action, a sex scene, then on to the villain, who is very good, whoever he is. Then back to more sex -- and I turned it off, threw it away. The title, Rob Roy, does not lead a viewer to expect an Outlander story line.
