An epic story of betrayal, reinvention, and retribution bursts back to life in this lavish adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s timeless classic. Pierre Niney (Frantz; Yves Saint Laurent) stars as Edmond Dantès, a wrongfully imprisoned sailor who escapes and returns to Paris transformed—now fabulously wealthy, strategically calculating, and determined to dismantle the lives of the men who betrayed him.
Directors Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte deliver an emotionally resonant swashbuckler that honors the sweeping scale of Dumas’s novel while pulsing with contemporary energy. With a stellar cast that includes Anaïs Demoustier, Bastien Bouillon, and Laurent Lafitte, this grand cinematic spectacle brims with buried treasure, romance, and elegant revenge.
“Stirringly acted and gorgeously filmed…. leaves previous versions of Dumas’s famous revenge saga in the dust.” —New York Times (Critic’s Pick)
