The Legend of Zorro

Film Description

Catherine Zeta Jones captivated audiences and shot to stardom via her role as Elena in the 1998 take on the Zorro legend, Mask of Zorro. This sequel, set in 1850, finds her married to Alejandro, aka Zorro (Antonio Banderas, also returning to reprise his character), and demanding he stop all the derring-do and spend time with their 10-year-old son, Joaquin. The boy has acrobatic skills, but is unaware of his father's secret identity. He can only look askance as his parents separate and Dad starts spending too much time with his hard-drinking horse, while Mom lets herself be wooed by the odious Count Armand. It's up to little Zorro Joaquin to get to the bottom of things and get his folk-hero parents back into action.

The swordfighting and death-defying action sequences are all totally bloodless, and director Martin Campbell, who also helmed the 1998 film, keeps the dialogue very contemporary and child-friendly throughout.
