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 (Jim 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.
Set up to be unlawfully sentenced to the infamous island prison of Chateau
D'If, Edmond is trapped in a 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.
