What is the plot of The Princess Bride in short?

In short, the story of The Princess
Bride, is a love story that undergoes sensational obstacles for satirical
purposes. The story is actually a book about a book. What I mean by that is that it
opens with a Grandfather reading to his grandson this famous tale, and the author
maintains this conversation the grandfather has with his audience as he reads the
story.

The story itself is about Wesley, a farm hand, and
Buttercup, an only child upper teen. He loves her, and it takes her time to realize she
loves him. Once she figures it out, he takes off to become the man she needs him to be.
Later, royalty comes for Buttercup and she just goes with it even though she is madly in
love with Wesley. She hasn't heard from him. She resolves to live a loveless life and
marry into the royal family. Soon she is kidnapped by a team of bandits: Inigo, Fezzik,
and Vizzini. Wesley comes to get her back and thwarts these guys, but eventually the
royal family catches him and tortures him... without telling Buttercup. He dies. But, is
brought back to life by two of the previous bandits. They work to get him back together
with Buttercup before she goes through with the
wedding.

It's a big story made to poke fun at the absurd
lengths people go to for love. Many details are missing here... make sure you get in a
good read.
