Hook (1991) watch online

Hook is a 1991 American fantasy 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 James Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell, Bob Hoskins as Mr. Smee, Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy and Charlie Korsmo as Jack Banning. It serves as a modern-day sequel to J. M. Barrie's 1911 novel Peter and Wendy, focusing on an adult Peter Pan who has forgotten his childhood. In his new life, he is known as Peter Banning, a successful lawyer who neglects his wife, Wendy's granddaughter, Moira, and their two children, Jack and Maggie. When his old archenemy, Captain Hook, kidnaps his children, he returns to Neverland to save them.

Spielberg began developing Hook in the early 1980s with Walt Disney Productions and Paramount Pictures. It would have followed the Peter Pan storyline seen in the 1924 silent film and Disney Animation's 1953 film. It entered pre-production in 1985 but Spielberg abandoned the project. Hart developed the script with director Nick Castle and TriStar Pictures before Spielberg decided to direct in 1989. It was shot almost entirely on sound stages at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.

Hook was released on December 11, 1991, by TriStar Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and was commercially successful, grossing $301 million and becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 1991; however, it failed to meet the studio's expectations. The film also received five nominations at the 64th Academy Awards. Since its release, Hook gained a cult following and it is considered by many to be a cult classic.
