172: Hook Turns 30

Listen Later

Guess what else turns 30 this year? Steven Spielberg’s Hook. 

Feel old yet? No. 

Join us and celebrate this family classic. Originally penned as a sequel to J.M. Barrie’s 1911 novel, Peter and Wendy, Hook focuses on an adult Peter Pan, played by our late favorite funnyman Robin Williams, who has forgotten his childhood and Neverland. Enter Captain Hook, played by Dustin Hoffman, who kidnaps his children and forces him to return to save them. He not only reunites with the Lost Boys but once again faces off with his childhood nemesis. 

Throw in music by maestro John Williams and stellar performances by all involved, and you’ve got yourself a cult classic you’ll show your kids over and over again.
