Synopsis:
THE
COUNT
OF
MONTE
CRISTO
is
Alexandre
Dumas'
classic
story
of
an
innocent
man
wrongly
but
deliberately
imprisoned
and
his
brilliant
strategy
for
revenge
against
those
who
betrayed
him.
Dashing
young
sailor
Edmond
Dantes
(JAMES
CAVIEZEL)
is
a
guileless
and
honest
young
man
whose
peaceful
life
and
plans
to
marry
the
beautiful
Mercedes
(DAGMARA
DOMINCZYK)
are
abruptly
shattered
when
his
best
friend
Fernand
(GUY
PEARCE),
who
wants
Mercedes
for
himself,
deceives
him.
He
sets
him
up
to
be
unlawfully
sentenced
to
the
infamous
island
prison
of
Chateau
D'If.
Edmond
is
trapped
in
this
nightmare
that
lasts
for
thirteen
years.
Haunted
by
the
baffling
course
his
life
has
taken,
over
time
everything
he
ever
believed
about
right
and
wrong
is
abandoned
and
replaced
by
all-consuming
thoughts
of
vengeance
against
those
who
betrayed
him.
With
the
help
of
an
equally
innocent
fellow
inmate
(RICHARD
HARRIS),
Dantes
plots
and
succeeds
in
his
mission
to
escape
from
prison,
whereupon
he
transforms
himself
into
the
mysterious
and
wealthy
Count
of
Monte
Cristo.
With
cunning
ruthlessness,
he
cleverly
insinuates
himself
into
the
French
nobility
and
systematically
destroys
the
men
who
manipulated
and
enslaved
him.
