Synopsis: For the honor of the crown and the destiny of a country, four heroes must reassemble for one last epic battle… Leonardo DiCaprio leads a phenomenal cast, including Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gérard Depardieu, and Gabriel Byrne in the thrilling tale of majesty and Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask. It is a time of great splendor…and even greater despair. When the selfish excesses of France’s arrogant King Louis XIV begin to threaten his subjects’ very lives, the legendary Musketeers—Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d’Artagnan—must reunite to save their country once more. The key to their plan? A mysterious masked prisoner, who may be France’s only true hope.
Description: Louis XIII, King of France, had a son, Louis, who succeeded his father to the throne. But, known to very few, the heir had a twin brother, Philippe, hidden away after birth and forced to languish in prison, his identity unknown behind an iron mask. His brother, now grown and King Louis XIV, proved to be both corrupt and a tyrant. Louis sends Athos’ son, Raoul off to certain death in war, so that he could have his woman for himself. Athos, together with two of the other Musketeers, Porthos and Aramis, swear revenge. Only D’Artagnan remains loyal to the crown, but will he join his former compatriots to free Philippe from prison, kill the king, and put Philippe on the throne in his place?
