Acclaimed actor Gerard Depardieu stars in the adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic tale of love, intrigue and revenge.
The Count Of Monte Cristo tells the dramatic story of Edmund Dantes, a young French sailor who is falsely denounced as a traitor and unjustly imprisoned for eighteen years without a trial. After a daring escape, Dantes secures a treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo bequeathed to him by a dying inmate. Using these riches, he assumes a new identity and devises a plan to seek vengeance against all those who betrayed him.
