Based on the 1844 novel by Alexandre Dumas, this historical action adventure was one of the most popular films at the French box-office in 2024, with over nine million admissions.

Edmond Dantes 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 men who betrayed him.
