The Princess Bride’s Inigo/Wesley Duel Is the Best Movie Sword Fight Ever

Inigo’s quest for revenge—his search for the man who killed his father—is central to his development as a character, even while he’s caught up in other fights. The showdown between Inigo and the Man in Black perfectly captures the spirit of The Princess Bride, highlighting both skillful sword fighting and honorable conduct. Though they don’t realize it at the time, the duel between Inigo and Westley is what ultimately brings the entire story together.
