Ambitious and magical on a scale worthy of the source material that served as its inspiration, HOOK (1991) features the artistic contributions of three AFI Life Achievement Award honorees – director Steven Spielberg, composer John Williams and, as the villainous pirate from whom the film derives its title, Dustin Hoffman. Produced by AFI Board of Trustees Chair Kathleen Kennedy, the film boasts a stellar ensemble (second to the right and straight on till morning), including Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Maggie Smith, and a young Gwyneth Paltrow – with a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo appearance from a fourth AFI Life Achievement Award recipient George Lucas!
