Short description
In the highlands of Scotland in the 1700s, Rob Roy tries to lead his small town to a better future, by borrowing money from the local nobility to buy cattle to herd to market. When the money is stolen, Rob is forced into a Robin Hood lifestyle to defend his family and honour.
What's left behind the scenes
- Tim Roth believed he would be fired, as his character turned out to be quite eccentric. He even instructed his agent to start looking for new roles for him. However, director Michael Caton-Jones asked him to make the character as vulgar, pretentious, and eccentric as possible, and Roth was subsequently nominated for an Oscar for his role in the film.
- The entire film was shot on location in Scotland, mostly in such remote places that the only way to reach them was by helicopter.
- Jason Fleming appeared in a cameo role in the film, against the advice of his own agent. Fleming was determined to star in a film with his idol, Tim Roth.
- In one scene, John Hurt's character (1940-2017) laments the Queen's lack of an heir. This is a reference to her 17 pregnancies, which resulted in six miscarriages, six stillbirths, two cases where the baby lived only minutes after birth, the birth of a daughter who lived less than a year, and another who did not live to two years old, and the birth of her son William, Duke of Gloucester, who died a few days after his eleventh birthday and two years before Anne's accession to the throne.
- Filming in Scotland was difficult due to the constant rain and swarms of midges.
