Don Alejandro de la Vega prowadzi spokojne życie, ma dziesięcioletniego syna, Joaquina. Nadal jako zamaskowany jeździec – Zorro, spieszy na pomoc biednym i uciśnionym, ale dużo czasu poświęca też spokojnemu życiu rodzinnemu. Jest rok 1851 – trwają przygotowania do wejścia Kalifornii w skład USA jako 31. stanu. Don Alejandro odkrywa intrygę chciwych biznesmenów i polityków działających w tajnym stowarzyszeniu Rycerzy Aragonii, mających zamiar storpedować ten proces. Elena stawia męża przed wyborem: życie rodzinne albo czynienie sprawiedliwości. Gdy Alejandro łamie dane jej słowo i znowu zakłada maskę, Elena występuje o rozwód. Zorro krzyżuje plany bogaczy, lecz grozi mu rozpad rodziny.
The Zorro brand of hot-blooded derring-do returns with
The Legend of Zorro, starring Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the roles that brought them stardom with
The Mask of Zorro.
Now married for ten years and parents to young rascal Joaquim (charming Adrian Alonso, perhaps being set up for a future Son of Zorro), dashing swordsman Alejandro (Banderas, a Spaniard playing a Mexican) and sultry spitfire Elena De La Vega (Zeta-Jones, a Welshwoman playing a Spaniard) abruptly divorce, sending Alejandro on a drunken binge--which only gets worse when he learns Elena is being wooed by the mysterious Armand (Rufus Sewell, a Brit playing a Frenchman). Little does Alejandro know that Elena has ulterior motives, and that a worldwide conspiracy and a secret weapon will soon threaten the integrity of the U.S.
The Legend of Zorro has way too much plot, leaving room for only two genuinely preposterous donnybrooks and a handful of lacklustre brawls. Banderas and Zeta-Jones flash a bit of their considerable charisma, but by and large they (and the movie as a whole) are on autopilot. Not awful, but lacking any real spark.--Bret Fetzer
Product Description
Adventure sequel starring Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones. Having spent the last ten years fighting injustice and cruelty, Zorro (Banderas) is now facing his greatest challenge: his wife Elena (Zeta-Jones) has thrown him out and found comfort in the arms of Count Armand (Rufus Sewell), a dashing French aristocrat.

And so, with his marriage and his country's future at stake, it's up to Zorro to try to save two unions before it's too late.
