A falsely imprisoned man invents a new identity to take revenge on those who betrayed him in this lavish adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s classic adventure novel.
Marseille, 1815. The dreams of principled young sailor Edmond Dantès are about to come true; promoted to ship’s captain, he can finally marry the love of his life, Mercédès. But his success inspires jealousy… betrayed by his rivals, Dantès is denounced as a member of a pro-Napoleon conspiracy, and incarcerated without trial in an isolated prison.
After years of solitude, Dantès befriends an inmate in the adjacent cell, Abbé Faria, who reveals the location of a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. An extraordinary plan is hatched to exact revenge on the three men who wronged him: assuming multiple identities – “the Count of Monte Cristo” among them – Dantès will first court his enemies, and then seek retribution…
