THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO
Already being hailed as the best adaptation of Alexandre
Dumas' legendary 1844 novel, The Count of Monte-Cristo tells the iconic tale of Edmond
Dantes, who becomes the target of a sinister plot and is arrested on his
wedding day for a crime he did not commit. After 14 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. (France,
