The Count of Monte Cristo

(Le Comte de Monte-Cristo)

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.

Directors Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière offer a breath-taking adaptation of prolific 19th century writer Alexandre Dumas’s 1844 epic novel of the same name, The Count of Monte Cristo. Pierre Niney leads a stellar cast in this truly lavish adaptation of the iconic tale of romance and redemption, which is magnificently shot across glorious locations.
