Edmond Dantes becomes the target of a sinister plot and is arrested on
his wedding day for a crime he did not commit. After 14 years in the
island prison of Chateau d'If, he manages a daring escape. Now rich beyond
his dreams, he assumes the identity of the Count of Monte-Cristo and exacts
his revenge on the men who betrayed him. This is the first French
cinematic treatment of the iconic tale in fifty years.
