The target of a sinister plot, young Edmond Dantes (Pierre Niney) is arrested on his wedding day for a crime he did not commit. After fourteen years in the island prison of Château 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 three men who betrayed him.
"Everything about this robust and very enjoyable retelling of the Alexandre Dumas classic is epic in scale: from the lavish sets and the orchestral score to the bold performances and the hefty running time. But it is an epic approach that is well-earned." - Wendy Ide, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL
"Splendid. Executed with all the panache golden-era Hollywood epics. A genuine triumph: a stunning, emotionally satisfying adventure tale that feels at once timeless and thrillingly new." - Peter Debruge, VARIETY
