Synopsis
Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins stars as the original Zorro, aka Don Diego de la Vega, the legendary masked hero who trains his successor, Antonio Banderas as Alejandro Murieta, as they prepare to defeat his arch-enemy and reclaim his abducted daughter, Oscar-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones as the high-spirited Elena. Director Martin Campbell is well-known in the action arena after Golden Eye, and delivers the first big-screen Hollywood production of Zorro in over four decades.

TRIVIA:
Alejandro Murrieta, disguised as Zorro, offers water to an exhausted worker at the mine in the final sequence of the film. This moment mirrors a classic moment from Ben-Hur; posing as a servant, Don Diego goes by the name Bernardo. In The Mark of Zorro (1920) and in the Disney television series, "Zorro" (1957) Bernardo was the name of Don Diego's mute servant; director Martin Campbell says that the acrobatic sword-fighting in the film was inspired by the work done by Gene Kelly.
