Based on Dumas's novel the count of Monte Cristo. Young sailor Edmund (G é rard Depardieu) was originally a young man with a bright future and a happy life. Just as he was about to be promoted to captain and married to his beloved girl, he was suddenly wronged and sentenced to life in prison. After 18 years of dark life in prison, Edmond met the Abb é Faria by chance, perhaps by heaven, and Edmond was able to escape with the help of the ABB é. And according to the ABB é 's instructions, he found rich gold and jewelry on the island of Monte Cristo. When Edmond returned to Marseilles, he found that everything was beyond recognition: his father died of hunger, his fiancee remarried, and the man who framed him became a gentleman living a rich and secure life. After a makeover, Edmond launched his revenge plan as "the count of Monte Cristo", vowing to take back everything he had lost from Fernand, Danglars, Villefort and others who had framed him. This is where the fascinating revenge begins. ©Douban
