Movie synopsis
Louis
XIII, King of France, had a son, Louis, who succeeded his father to the
throne. But, known to very few, the heir had a twin brother, Philippe,
hidden away after birth and forced to languish in prison, his identity
unknown behind an iron mask. His brother, now grown and King Louis XIV,
proved to be both corrupt and a tyrant. Louis sends Athos’ son, Raoul
off to certain death in war, so that he could have his woman for
himself. Athos, together with two of the other Musketeers, Porthos and
Aramis, swear revenge. Only D’Artagnan remains loyal to the crown, but
will he join his former compatriots to free Philippe from prison, kill
the king, and put Philippe on the throne in his place?
