In this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' novel, James Caviezel plays Edmund Dantes, an honest sailor who has a devoted girlfriend named Mercedes Dagmara Dominczyk and a lifelong friend, Fernand.
When he is promoted to captain and can afford to marry Mercedes, he thinks all of his dreams have come true. But Fernand, overcome with jealousy, betrays Edmund, and Villefort James Frain , a corrupt magistrate, sentences him to life imprisonment. His friends and family are told that he has been executed.
After years of brutal abuse, Edmund meets another prisoner Richard Harris , who teaches him to read and swordfight. They plan an escape, but his friend dies, and Edmund escapes alone, with a map showing the location of a treasure on the island of Monte Cristo.
