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 Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell, and Bob Hoskins as Smee. The film acts as a sequel to J. M. Barrie's 1911 novel Peter and Wendy and focuses on a middle-aged Peter Pan who returns to Neverland to save his children from Hook's clutches.
In the film, Peter Banning is a workaholic and neglectful father who has forgotten his childhood as Peter Pan. When his children are kidnapped by Captain Hook, he is forced to return to Neverland to rescue them with the help of Tinker Bell. However, Peter struggles to regain his memories and abilities as Peter Pan, and Hook uses this to his advantage in their ongoing battle.
Hook received mixed reviews upon release but has since gained a cult following. While some praised the film's visuals and performances, others criticized the story and pacing. Despite underperforming at the box office, the film has become a beloved classic for many viewers, particularly those who grew up with it.
