''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 Pan/Peter Banning, Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell, Bob Hoskins as Smee, Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy, Caroline Goodall as Moira Banning, and Charlie Korsmo as Jack Banning. The film acts as a sequel to J. M. Barrie's 1911 novel ''Peter and Wendy'' and poses the question "What if Peter Pan grew up?", focusing on an adult Peter Pan who has forgotten his childhood. In his new life, Peter Pan is known as Peter Banning, a successful corporate lawyer with a wife (Wendy's granddaughter) and two children. However, when the enemy of his past, Hook, kidnaps his children, Peter once again returns to Neverland in order to save his children and along the journey unknowingly reclaims his youthful spirit. Spielberg began developing the film in the early 1980s with Walt Disney Productions and Paramount Pictures, which would have followed the storyline seen in the 1924 silent film and 1953 animated film. ''Peter Pan'' entered pre-production in 1985, but Spielberg abandoned the project. James V. Hart developed the script with director, Nick Castle and TriStar Pictures before Spielberg decided to direct in 1989. ''Hook'' was shot almost entirely on sound stages at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, and while it was a commercial success, its box office intake was lower than expected. ''Hook'' was nominated in five categories at the 64th Academy Awards. It also spawned merchandise, including video games, action figures, and comic book adaptations. ==Plot== Peter Banning is a successful corporate lawyer living in San Francisco who spends more time at work than with his wife Moira and children Jack and Maggie. Although Peter is able to see Maggie's school play, he misses Jack's baseball game, breaking his promise. The Bannings fly to London to visit Moira's grandmother, Wendy Darling, to celebrate her charity work for orphans, which once included Peter. During the visit, Peter is distracted by phone calls from his office and on one occasion, shouts at his children when they interrupt him, leading Moira to throw his cellphone out a window. Later, while Peter, Moira, and Wendy attend a banquet ceremony hosted by Great Ormond Street Hospital, a strange presence abducts Jack and Maggie. Tootles, another one of Wendy's orphans who lives at her house, informs Peter that Captain Hook took the children to Neverland. Peter dismisses Tootles' warning and calls the police instead. Wendy informs Peter that he is actually Peter Pan and that he lost his memories of Neverland when he decided to stay in London with her many years ago. Once again, Peter dismisses these claims and waits for the police to find his children. That night, Tinker Bell arrives at the house and, after failing to convince Peter about Neverland, knocks him unconscious and carries him away. After Peter arrives in Neverland, he confronts Captain Hook, who is holding the children hostage. Hook is disgusted by Peter's adult self and becomes depressed that his foe is no longer capable of providing a good fight. Tinker Bell and Hook make a deal to give Peter three days to be trained to his former self for a climactic battle. Tinker Bell takes Peter to meet the Lost Boys, led by a new leader, Rufio. After some convincing, the boys agree to train Peter, and he begins to rediscover his sense of fun. Meanwhile, Mr. Smee suggests to Hook that he manipulate Jack and Maggie into loving him in order to break Peter's spirit. Maggie despises Hook, but Jack begins to see Hook as a father figure. Peter witnesses Jack playing baseball with Hook, who treats him as a son, and walks off in shame. Knowing that he must learn to fly to beat Hook, Peter unsuccessfully tries to remember until he encounters his own shadow, which leads him to the old tree home of the Lost Boys. He reunites with Tinker Bell and regains the memories of his past, recalling how he fell in love with Moira as a teenager and chose to grow up. Realizing being a father is his new happy thought, Peter once again learns to fly and dons his childhood outfit. On the third day, Peter and the Lost Boys launch an attack on the pirates. During the battle, Peter rescues Maggie and promises to be a better father to Jack. When Hook kills Rufio, Peter and Hook face off in a final duel, ending in Peter's victory. Refusing to leave honorably, Hook attacks Peter when his back is turned, but he gets swallowed up by the stuffed crocodile that once tormented him. Peter gives the lost boy Thud Butt his sword, asking him to look after the other boys. He then departs from Neverland with his children, waking up in Kensington Gardens, where he says a final goodbye to Tinker Bell. Returning to Wendy's house, Peter reunites with his family and hands a bag of marbles to Tootles, who discovers they contain pixie dust and flies off out the window. Wendy asks Peter if his adventures are over, but Peter replies, "To live would be an awfully big adventure." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hook (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
