Synopsis:

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is Alexandre Dumas' classic story of an innocent man who is wrongly imprisoned as part of a plot against him, and his brilliant strategy for revenge against those who betrayed him. Dashing young sailor Edmond Dantes (JIM CAVIEZEL) is a guileless and honest young man with brilliant prospects. Promoted to a captaincy and engaged to the beautiful Mercedes (DAGMARA DOMINCZYK) all in the same day, Dantes' future seems secure. Then his best friend, Fernand (GUY PEARCE), who covets Mercedes for himself, sets a plot in motion that sends Dantes to be unjustly imprisoned at the infamous island prison of Chateau D'If, where torture and brutality are commonplace. Edmond is trapped in this nightmare for thirteen years, and becomes consumed with 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.
