Alexandre Dumas’ epic tale of romance and betrayal is bought to the big screen which stormed the box office when released in France with close to 10 million tickets sold.

It's Marseille, 1815. The dreams of  young sailor Edmond Dantès are about to come true when he is promoted to ship’s captain and can finally marry the love of his life, Mercédès.  But his success inspires jealousy… betrayed by his rivals, Dantès is denounced as a member of a pro-Napoleon conspiracy, and incarcerated without trial in an isolated prison.

After years of solitude, Dantès befriends the inmate in the adjacent cell, Abbé Faria, who reveals the location of a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. An extraordinary plan is hatched to exact revenge on the three men who wronged him.
