Hook is a 1991 American fantasy adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by James V. Hart and Malia Scotch Marmo. It stars Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Robin Williams as Peter Pan/Peter Banning, 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 mixed 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: After superstar NFL quarterback, ROMAN CHRISTOPHE, says goodbye to a cheating wife, he takes an opportunity to re-acquaint himself with his eight year old daughter, CHRISTIAN, and her mother, POLLY. Without hesitation, Roman makes his intentions clear. He wants to reconcile. The tranquil, yet, spunky town of William Moss, West Virginia is soon overwhelmed upon the arrival of mega-star athlete Roman Christophe. Business at the town's only coffee and pastry shop has never been better. However, not nearly as star struck as her easily impressed community at large; Polly, shop owner, makes it perfectly clear that even amidst the sudden increase in revenue, a reconciliation with the three time Super Bowl MVP is absolutely out of the question. The shit hits the fan when Roman, finally accepting Polly's ill affection, begins courting ALLISON PARKER, his daughter's third grade teacher. In the meantime, Polly, obviously oblivious to the town's newest romantic item, begins to shrug her disdain for Roman. The thought of a life with he and Christian seems more like a happy ending rather than a spiteful ending. Needless to say, sparks can be seen clear across the county when Polly runs into Roman and Ms. Parker in the unmentionable section of the William Moss drug store. When the dust finally settles, the town that nestles itself 200 miles south of Washington, D.C. and a million miles from the rest of the world will never be the same.

I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said ";Babe,
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen";
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
And rode in fucking mad (?)
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
";Daddy your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen!";
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said ";I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine";
Good lord he hooked me
