Tangled (film) A princess stolen from her parents’ castle as a baby, Rapunzel is locked away for years in a hidden tower. When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit, Flynn Rider, hides out in her tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel, now a beautiful and feisty teen with 70 feet of magical golden hair. Flynn’s curious captor, who is looking for a way out of the tower, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse named Maximus, an over-protective chameleon named Pascal, and a gruff gang of pub thugs.
