The movie opens in the late 11 as Arthur Pendragon fights Sir Kay for the honor of pulling the legendary sword from the stone and become king of Camelot. Kay manages to get Aurthur to the floor and grabs the sword but instantly turns to dust. Aurthur realizes that if you're not worthy of the Excaliber than you die. Aurthur walks up to the sword, he closes his eyes and grabs the handle. Aurthur begins to pull but then disappears. It turns out Aurthur wasn't worthy and paid the price for an impure sole. We cut to a shot of a man in a green cloak riding a horse through the kingdom of Nottinghamshire. We see he had just stolen from Prince John and is off to give the money to the people of Camelot. Once there the man named Robin of Loxley aka The Hood meets with his wife Marian and leaves to the forest, but Robin starts seeing things, he starts seeing visions. Robin opens his eyes and he's in the forest next to Excaliber. Just then the Sherrif of Nottingham arrives and has been looking for Robin. The two get into a sword fight but the Sherrif knocks Robin's sword away, so Robin takes Excaliber and doesn't die. The two fight some more but Robin dodges all of the Sherrif's attacks but then the Sherrif shoots Robin and just then Robin opens his eyes and is in a modern-day hospital bed. He runs outside with Excaliber to see he's in the future and that after he was shot to save his life Excaliber took him somewhere that could heal a bullet wound.
