Francia está en crisis como el joven rey Luis XIV (Leonardo DiCaprio) no se
preocupa por su pueblo o su bienestar. the Iron Antigua, el envejecimiento
Athos mosqueteros, Porthos y Aramis (John Malkovich, Gerard Depardieu y
Jeremy Irons) urdir un plan para reemplazar el mal Louis con un sustituto, el
misterioso hombre de la máscara de hierro (dos expulsados del Rey molesta
Phillip, también interpretado por DiCaprio ), que esperan resultará ser un
rey mejor.
The problem lies in the devotion of their friend, D'Artagnan (Gabriel Byrne),
who is the Captain of the King's Musketeers, to the selfish monarch. To
succeed in their plot, the musketeers will have to either turn D'Artagnan
against the king, or fool him into believing Phillip is Louis. They free Phillip
from his prison, and train him in the ways of the royal court. They decide to
kidnap Louis and replace him with Phillip at a masque.
The plot to kidnap Louis and replace him with Phillip goes bad when
D'Artagnan discovers the switch and stops it. Louis sends Phillip back to the
prison to wear the Iron Mask. However, upon learning about the existence of
Louis' twin brother, and how the evil Louis banished him to a dungeon to rot
in an iron mask for his whole life, D'Artagnan turns on the King and joins his
friends in the attempt to free Phillip from the dungeon. Louis suspects this,
however, and has his Musketeers waiting for them at the jail. A battle
ensues. In the midst of the fighting, D'Artagnan reveals to Phillip that he is
Phillip and King Louis' father, as the Queen and he are in love. Louis tries to
kill Phillip, but D'Artagnan dies protecting him. When the Musketeers see the
king murder their Captain, they put Louis in the Iron Mask and proclaim
Phillip to be the real Louis. Louis is left in the dungeon in the Iron Mask, and
Phillip, forever after known as King Louis XIV, assumes the throne and
restores honor to the French crown.
