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 13 years. Haunted by the baffling course his life has taken, he is consumed with thoughts of vengeance against those who betrayed him. With the help of an equally innocent fellow inmate (Richard Harris), Edmond plots and succeeds in his mission to escape, whereupon he transforms himself into the mysterious and wealthy Count of Monte Cristo. Ultimately, he infiltrates the French nobility and systematically destroys the men who manipulated and enslaved him.
