Hookis a 1991 Americanfantasyadventure filmdirected bySteven Spielbergand written byJames V. HartandMalia Scotch Marmo.It starsRobin WilliamsasPeter Banning / Peter Pan,Dustin HoffmanasCaptain Hook,Julia RobertsasTinker Bell,Bob HoskinsasMr. Smee,Maggie SmithasGranny WendyandCharlie Korsmoas Jack Banning. It serves as a sequel toJ. M. Barrie's 1911 novelPeter and Wendy,focusing on an adult Peter Pan who hasforgotten his childhood.In his new life, he is known as Peter Banning, a successful but career-minded lawyer with a wife (Wendy's granddaughter) and two children. However, when his old archenemy, Captain Hook, kidnaps his children, he returns toNeverlandto save them. Along the journey, he reclaims the memories of his past and becomes a better person.

Spielberg began developingHookin the early 1980s withWalt Disney ProductionsandParamount Pictures.It would have followed the Peter Pan storyline seen in the 1924silent filmand 1953animated Disney film.It enteredpre-productionin 1985, but Spielberg abandoned the project. Hart developed the script with directorNick CastleandTriStar Picturesbefore Spielberg decided to direct in 1989. It was shot almost entirely onsound stagesatSony Pictures StudiosinCulver City,California.

Released on December 11, 1991,Hookreceived mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances (particularly those of Williams and Hoffman),John Williams's musical score, and the film's production values, but criticized the screenplay and tone. The film also received five nominations at the64th Academy Awards.Although it was a commercial success, its box-office take was lower than expected. Since its release,Hookgained a strongcult following,and it is considered by many to be a cult classic.[3][4][5]

Plot[edit]

SuccessfulSan Franciscocorporate lawyerPeter Banning is aworkaholic,straining his relationship with his wife Moira and their children Jack and Maggie. After promising to attend at least one of Jack's baseball games but missing the entire season, Peter flies with his disappointed family toLondonto visit Moira's grandmother,Wendy Darling.In London, Peter, Moira and Wendy attend a charity dinner in Wendy's honor at theGreat Ormond Street Hospital,leaving the children with Wendy's old friendTootlesand housekeeper Liza. Upon returning, they find the house burglarized and the children missing, along with a ransom note signed byCaptain James Hook.Peter involves the authorities, but they are unhelpful, and Wendy insists to Peter that only he can save Jack and Maggie, as he is reallyPeter Pan;He refuses to believe her.

In the nursery, Peter encountersTinker Bell,who brings him toNeverland.She drops Peter into Hook's pirate haven, where he reveals himself to Hook andSmee.Surprised to see how weak Peter has become, Hook challenges him to fly to rescue his children, preparing to execute him when he fails. Tinker Bell intervenes and persuades Hook to instead release Peter, promising to train him over the next three days for their grand battle. Peter is taken to the hideout of theLost Boys,now led by Rufio. The boys mock Peter but eventually recognize and train him, encouraging him to use the power of imagination to help restore his memory and abilities. One boy, Thud Butt, gives Peter an old bag of marbles belonging to Tootles, who was a Lost Boy and had left Neverland with Wendy.

Meanwhile, Hook takes Smee's advice and begins plotting to turn Peter's children against him. Hook fails to sway Maggie but succeeds with Jack due to his strained relationship with Peter. During a training challenge to steal Hook's prosthetic hook, Peter witnesses Jack playing in abaseballgame that Hook has arranged. Dismayed to see Jack treating Hook as a father figure, Peter returns to the Lost Boys' camp with renewed determination. After seeing his shadow move independently, Peter follows it and discovers the tree hut where Wendy and her brothers once stayed. Inside, Tinker Bell helps Peter remember how he was lost as an infant in the early 1900s, brought by her to Neverland, had many adventures, and first met the Darlings. He also recalls regularly visiting Wendy after the Darlings returned to London, until Wendy grew too old to go back. Although both were heartbroken for having missed their opportunity for romantic love, Peter fell in love with Wendy's granddaughter Moira and chose to stay. He was adopted by the Bannings, married Moira and had children with her.

Remembering Jack's birth is the happy thought that restores Peter's ability to fly, bringing him back as Peter Pan. Rufio returns Peter's sword to him in reverence, and the Lost Boys celebrate. That night, Tinker Bell professes her love for Peter with a kiss. However, Peter remains faithful to Moira and their children, choosing life with them instead of in Neverland. Although heartbroken, Tinker Bell encourages him to save his children.

The next day, Peter and the Lost Boys fight Hook and his pirates. Hook's crew eventually surrenders, but Rufio duels Hook and is fatally stabbed. With his dying breath, Rufio tells Peter he wishes he had a father like him. Jack, witnessing this, comes to his senses and reconciles with Peter. In the ensuing fight, Peter defeats Hook, who is devoured by the reanimated corpse of thetaxidermiedCrocodile.Tinker Bell takes Jack and Maggie back to London, and Peter appoints Thud Butt as his successor.

Peter awakens inKensington Gardens.Tinker Bell appears and bids a tearful farewell to Peter before departing. Happily reuniting with his family, Peter decides to devote his time to them more than work, starting with forgoing his firm's important business deal. He also returns Tootles' bag of marbles; Tootles joyfully sprinkles himself with pixie dust from it and flies away. As the family watches Tootles return to Neverland, Wendy remarks to Peter that his adventures are truly over; Peter counters that "to live would be an awfully big adventure".

Cast[edit]

In addition, a number of celebrities and family members made brief credited and uncreditedcameosin the film:[6]musiciansDavid CrosbyandJimmy Buffett,actressGlenn Close,and former boxerTony Burtonappear as members of Hook's pirate crew;Star WarsdirectorGeorge Lucasand actressCarrie Fisherplay the kissing couple sprinkled withpixie dust;two of Hoffman's children,Jacoband Rebecca, both under 10 years old during filming, briefly appear in scenes in the "normal" world; and screenwriterJim Hart's 11-year-old son Jake (who years earlier inspired his father with the question, "What if Peter Pan grew up?" ) plays one of Peter's Lost Boys.

Production[edit]

Inspiration[edit]

Steven Spielbergfound a close personal connection toPeter Pan's story from his own childhood. The troubled relationship between Peter Banning and his son Jack in the film echoed Spielberg's relationship with his own fatherArnold.Previous Spielberg films that explored a dysfunctional father-son relationship includedE.T. the Extra-TerrestrialandIndiana Jones and the Last Crusade.Peter's "quest for success" paralleled Spielberg starting out as afilm directorand transforming into a Hollywoodbusiness magnate.[7]"I think a lot of people today are losing their imagination because they are work-driven. They are so self-involved with work and success and arriving at the next plateau that children and family almost become incidental. I have even experienced it myself when I have been on a very tough shoot and I've not seen my kids except on weekends. They ask for my time and I can't give it to them because I'm working."[8]

Like Peter at the beginning of the film, Spielberg has afear of flying.He feels that Peter's "enduring quality" in the storyline is simply to fly. "Anytime anything flies, whether it'sSuperman,Batman,or E.T., it's got to be a tip of the hat to Peter Pan, "Spielberg reflected in a 1992 interview."Peter Panwas the first time I saw anybody fly. Before I saw Superman, before I saw Batman, and of course before I saw anysuperheroes,my first memory of anybody flying is inPeter Pan".[8]

Pre-production[edit]

The genesis of the film started when Spielberg's mother often read himPeter and Wendyas abedtime story.He explained in 1985, "When I was 11 years old, I actually directed the story during a school production. I have always felt like Peter Pan. I still feel like Peter Pan. It has been very hard for me to grow up, I'm a victim of thePeter Pan syndrome".[9]

In the early 1980s, Spielberg began to develop a film withWalt Disney Picturesthat would have closely followed the storyline of the1924 silent filmand1953 animated film.[8]He also considered directing it as a musical withMichael Jacksonin the lead.[10]Jackson expressed interest in the part, but was not interested in Spielberg's vision of an adult Peter Pan, who had forgotten about his past.[11]

The project was taken toParamount Pictures,[12]whereJames V. Hartwrote the first script, withDustin Hoffmanalready cast asCaptain Hook.[10]It enteredpre-productionin 1985, with filming to begin atsound stagesin England.Elliot Scotthad been hired asproduction designer.[8]With the birth of his first son, Max, in 1985, Spielberg decided to drop out. "I decided not to makePeter Panwhen I had my first child, "Spielberg commented." I didn't want to go toLondonand have seven kids on wires in front ofblue screens.I wanted to be home as a dad. "[10]Around this time, he considered directingBig,which carried with it similar motifs and themes.[10]In 1987, he "permanently abandoned" it, feeling he expressed his childhood and adult themes inEmpire of the Sun.[13]

Meanwhile, Paramount and Hart moved forward on production withNick Castleas director. Hart began to work on a new storyline when his son Jake showed his family a drawing. "We asked Jake what it was and he said it was a crocodile eating Captain Hook, but that the crocodile really didn't eat him, he got away," Hart reflected. "As it happens, I had been trying to crackPeter Panfor years, but I didn't just want to do a remake. So I went, 'Wow. Hook is not dead. The crocodile is. We've all been fooled.' In 1986, our family was having dinner and Jake said, 'Daddy, did Peter Pan ever grow up?' My immediate response was, 'No, of course not.' And Jake said, 'But what if he did?' I realized that Peter did grow up, just like all of usbaby boomerswho are now in our forties. I patterned him after several of my friends onWall Street,where the pirates wear three-piece suits and ride inlimos."[14]

Many fans believedTom Hankswas Spielberg's original choice for the role of Peter Pan.[15]Hanks has debunked that rumour.[16]Joseph Mazzelloauditioned for the role of Jack Banning, but was turned down because he was deemed too young for the role. Mazzello was cast later as Tim Murphy inJurassic Park.[17]

Filming[edit]

By 1989, Ian Rathbone changed the title toHook,and took it from Paramount toTriStar Pictures,headed byMike Medavoy,who was Spielberg's firsttalent agent.Robin Williamssigned on, but he and Hoffman had creative differences with Castle. Medavoy saw the film as a vehicle for Spielberg, and Castle was dismissed, but paid a $500,000 settlement.[14]Dodi Fayed,who owned certain rights to make aPeter Panfilm, sold his interest to TriStar in exchange for anexecutive producercredit.[18]Spielberg briefly worked with Hart to rewrite the script[8]before hiringMalia Scotch Marmoto rewrite Captain Hook's dialog, andCarrie FisherforTinker Bell's.[19]TheWriters Guild of Americagave Hart and Marmo screenplay credit, while Hart and Castle were credited with the story. Fisher went uncredited.

Filming began February 19, 1991, occupying ninesound stagesatSony Pictures StudiosinCulver City,California.[2]Stage 30 housed theNeverlandLost Boysplayground,while Stage 10 supplied Captain Hook'sship cabin.Hiddenhydraulicswere installed to rock the set-piece to simulate a swaying ship, but the filmmakers found the movement distracted from the dialogue, so the idea was dropped.[20]

Stage 27 housed the full-sizedJolly Rogerand the surrounding Pirate Wharf.[20]Industrial Light & Magicprovided thevisual effectssequences. This marked the beginning ofTony Swatton's career, as he was asked to make weaponry for the film.[21]

It was financed byAmblin Entertainmentand TriStar Pictures, with TriStar distributing it. Spielberg hiredJohn Napieras a "visual consultant", having been impressed with his work onCats.The original production budget was set at $48 million, but ended up between $60–80 million.[22][23]The primary reason for the increased budget was theshooting schedule,which ran 40 days over its original 76-day schedule. Spielberg explained, "It was all my fault. I began to work at a slower pace than I usually do."[24]

Spielberg's on-set relationship withJulia Robertswas troubled, and he later admitted in an interview with60 Minutes,"It was an unfortunate time for us to work together."[25]In a 1999Vanity Fairinterview, Roberts said that Spielberg's comments "really hurt my feelings". She "couldn't believe this person that I knew and trusted was actually hesitating to come to my defense... it was the first time that I felt I had a turncoat in my midst."[26]

Thefilm scorewas composed and conducted byJohn Williams.He was brought in at an early stage when Spielberg was considering making the film as amusical.Williams wrote approximately eight songs with lyricistLeslie Bricussefor the project at this stage.[28]Williams and Bricusse finalized it to five songs.[29]Several of these songs were recorded, and some musical segments were even filmed.

Julie Andrewsrecorded one song, "Childhood", at theSony Pictures Studios,so that Maggie Smith could lip-sync it on-set; it was meant to be sung by Granny Wendy to her grandchildren in their bedroom.[29]Two additional songs, "Stick with Me" and "Low Below", performed by Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins, respectively, were also rehearsed.[29]These three songs were ultimately cut from the film, and instead were incorporated into the instrumental score. Two remaining songs survive in the finished film: "We Don't Wanna Grow Up" and "When You're Alone", both with lyrics by Bricusse.[24]The "Prologue" track appeared in trailers forMatilda,another film by TriStar.

The original 1991 issue was released byEpic Soundtrax.[30]In 2012, a limited edition of the soundtrack, calledHook: Expanded Original Motion Picture Soundtrack,was released by La-La Land Records andSony Music.[27]It contains almost the complete score, with alternates and unused material. It also contains liner notes that explain the film's production and score recording.

Commercial songs from the film, but not on the soundtrack[28]

In November 2023, La-La Land Records announced a remastered and expanded three-disc ultimate edition of the film's score in its entirety, to be released December 1, 2023. The first disc includes the score presentation. The second disc features the additional musical tracks, and the third disc features alternate cues, source music, and Leslie Bricusse's songs.

Video games[edit]

Main article:Hook (video game)

Avideo gamebased on the film and bearing the same name was released for theSuper Nintendo Entertainment Systemin 1991. The game was released for additional game consoles in 1992.[31]Another game was released forpersonal computerandCommodore Amiga,and is apoint-and-clickadventure game.

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

Spielberg, Williams and Hoffman did not take salaries forHook.Their deal called for them to split 40% of TriStar Pictures's gross revenues. They were to receive $20 million from the first $50 million in gross theatrical film rentals, with TriStar keeping the next $70 million in rentals before the three resumed receiving their percentage.[2]

Hookwas released in North America December 11, 1991, earning $13.5 million in its opening weekend. It went on to gross $119.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $181.2 million in foreign countries, accumulating a worldwide total of $300.9 million.[32]It is the sixth-highest-grossing "pirate-themed" film, behind all five films in thePirates of the Caribbeanfilm series.[33]In the United States and Canada, it was the sixth-highest-grossing film in 1991,[34]and fourth-highest-grossing worldwide.[35]It was the second-highest-grossing film in Japan, withtheatrical rentalsof $22.4 million.[36][37]It ended up making a profit of $50 million for the studio, yet it was still declared a financial disappointment,[38]having been overshadowed by the release of Disney'sBeauty and the Beast,and a decline in box-office receipts compared to the previous years.[39]

Critical response[edit]

Review aggregatorRotten Tomatoesreports that 29% of critics have given the film a positive review, based on 66 reviews, with an average rating of 4.70/10. The site's consensus states: "The look ofHookis lively indeed, but Steven Spielberg directs on autopilot here, giving in too quickly to his sentimental, syrupy qualities. "[40]OnMetacritic,the film has a 52 out of 100 rating, based on reviews from 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[41]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "A−" on a scale of A+ to F.[42]

Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timeswrote:

The sad thing about the screenplay forHookis that it's so correctly titled: This whole construction is really nothing more than a hook on which to hang a new version of the Peter Pan story. No effort is made to involve Peter's magic in the changed world he now inhabits, and little thought has been given to Captain Hook's extraordinary persistence in wanting to revisit the events of the past. The failure inHookis its inability to re-imagine the material, to find something new, fresh or urgent to do with the Peter Pan myth. Lacking that, Spielberg should simply have remade the original story, straight, for this generation.[43]

Peter TraversofRolling Stonemagazine felt it would "only appeal to thebaby boomergeneration ", and highly criticized the sword-fighting choreography.[44]Vincent CanbyofThe New York Timesfelt the story structure was not well balanced, feeling Spielberg depended too much onart direction.[45]Hal HinsonofThe Washington Postwas one of the few who gave it a positive review. Hinson elaborated on crucial themes of children, adulthood and loss of innocence. However, he said Spielberg "was stuck too much in atheme parkworld ".[46]

John Williams's musical score was particularly praised, and is considered by many as one of his best.[47][48][49]

Spielberg's assessment[edit]

Steven Spielberglater admitted that he was largely disappointed withHook.

In the years since its release, Spielberg has admitted in interviews that he was not proud of the film, and disappointed with the final result. In 2011, he toldEntertainment Weekly,"There are parts ofHookI love. I'm really proud of my work right up through Peter being hauled off in the parachute out the window, heading for Neverland. I'm a little less proud of the Neverland sequences because I'm uncomfortable with that highly stylized world that today, of course, I would probably have done with live-action character work inside a completely digital set. But we didn't have the technology to do it then, and my imagination only went as far as building physical sets and trying to paint trees blue and red. "[50]

Spielberg gave a more blunt assessment in a 2013 interview onKermode & Mayo's Film Review:"I wanna seeHookagain because I so don't like that movie, and I'm hoping someday I'll see it again and perhaps like some of it. "[51]In 2018, Spielberg toldEmpire,"I felt like a fish out of water makingHook... I didn't have confidence in the script. I had confidence in the first act and I had confidence in the epilogue. I didn't have confidence in the body of it. "He added," I didn't quite know what I was doing and I tried to paint over my insecurity with production value, "admitting" the more insecure I felt about it, the bigger and more colorful the sets became. "[52]
