The Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack, released in 1991 for Kevin Reynolds’ swashbuckling adventure starring Kevin Costner, features a rousing and romantic score by Michael Kamen, one of the great Hollywood composers of the era. Kamen, known for his work on Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Brazil, crafted a sweeping orchestral sound that blended medieval textures with lush symphonic writing, perfectly underscoring Sherwood Forest battles and Robin Hood’s romance with Maid Marian, played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

The score’s most famous theme became globally iconic when adapted into the hit single “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You,” performed by Bryan Adams, which dominated charts worldwide and earned a Grammy Award and an Academy Award nomination. The soundtrack also highlights Kamen’s collaborations with The London Metropolitan Orchestra and captures the grand, adventurous spirit akin to John Williams’ Robin Hood influences or James Horner’s Braveheart a few years later. As a cornerstone of early 1990s film music, the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack remains a fan favorite, combining blockbuster romance with medieval heroics in a way only Michael Kamen could achieve.
