The Count of Monte Cristo plot summary

Edmond (Jim Caviezal) is sailing in French waters along with his best friend,

Fernand (Guy Pearce) , when their captain falls ill. They stop for help at a nearby

island, which happens to be where Napolean Bonaparte is in hiding. Bonaparte

pulls aside Edmond and asks him to deliver an "innocent letter" to an old friend in

Marille, France. Edmond agrees, as that is the price for the u of Napolean's

physician. The captain unfortunately dies, so the crew returns home to Marille.

Edmond is made captain for his bravery in eking a physician, and the first mate

comes to despi him for it.

Fernand finds out about the letter, and reads it while Edmond is sleeping, and

is angry that Edmond did not tell him about it. Edmond, not knowing that Fernand

knows about the letter, rushes to greet his fiance, Mercedes, and tell her that they

can now be married as he was just promoted to captain. This is also the point in

the movie when you realize that Fernand is in love wiht Mercedes, but she loves

Edmond.

Fernand, still angry, decides to work together with the furious first mate, and

get Edmond arrested for treason, which he didn't commit. Fernand works also with

a very important magistrate, Villefort, who's father is the man Edmond was to

deliver the letter to. (Villefort does not know of this). Thus, Edmond is arrested, and

thrown into a remote island prison by the name of Chateau D'if. There, he meets

Priest, who teaches him many valuable lessons about life, how to sword fight, and

give Edmond a proper education. All this is in turn for Edmond helping to dig, in

order to escape the prison.

For 13 years, Edmond is held captive in the Chateau D'if, and unknown to

Edmond, a letter was nt to his family and Mercedes saying that he was executed

on grounds of treason. Finally, Edmond escapes when the priest dies, and becomes

part of a crew on a merchant vesl, along with his good riend Jaccapo. After 3

months, Edmond is relead along with Jaccapo, and they go in arch of finding

out what has happened to Edmond's loved ones. They find out that Edmond's

father commited suicide, and the Mercedes wed Fernand a month after learning of

Edmond's execution. Edmond has by this time (with the help of the priest while in

prison) figured out that he was framed by Fernand and the others. Thus, he and

Jaccapo sail to a remote island that the Priest told Edmond about, and there they

find a treasure, making Edmond extremely wealthy. Edmond decides to become a

count in order to get revenge on tho who betrayed him, so he becomes The

COunt of Monte Cristo, being the treasure he found The Treasure of Monte Cristo.

Soon after, he "saves" Fernand and Mercedes' son Alber from captivity, and

thus enters the lives of tho he is trying to hurt like they hurt him. Mercedes

begins to suspect that The Count is really Edmond, and when she confronts him

privately, he denies it but slips and she realizes that he really is Edmond. Then, they

kiss, and realize that they are still in love, so Mercedes goes back ot her Chateau to

inform Fernand that she is leaving him, when Fernand tells her that he has gone

bankrupt (which is really Edmond's doing, but he doesn't know this) and is leaving

the country. (By this time, Villefort has been convicted of murdering his father and

nt to jail, also doings of Edmond's). Mercedes preceds to inform Fernand that

Alber is not his son, but Edmond's. Fernand becomes angry and goes out to his old,

abandoned villa to collect the gold he had suppodly stolen from The Count of

Monte Cristo, only to find that it is not there (Edmond's doings, again). Then,

Edmond shows up, and tells Fernand where he has been all the years, and they

begin a duel, only to be stopped by Mercedes and Alber. Mercedes then tells

Edmond that Alber is really his son, not Fernand's. Fernand then shoots Mercedes

in the shoulder (she lives) and runs off. Edmond follows him and they begin sword

fighting again. Fibally, Edmond kills Fernand, and goes back to Mercedes and

Alber and Jaccapo. At the very end, Edmond buys the Chateau D'if thanks the

Priest for his wisdom and help.
