Short description

Having spent the last 10 years fighting injustice and cruelty, Alejandro de la Vega is now facing his greatest challenge: his loving wife Elena has thrown him out of the house! Elena has filed for divorce and found comfort in the arms of Count Armand, a dashing French aristocrat. But Alejandro knows something she doesn't: Armand is the evil mastermind behind a terrorist plot to destroy the United States. And so, with his marriage and the county's future at stake, it's up to Zorro to save two unions before it's too late.

What's left behind the scenes

When Rufus Sewell’s character has his polo mallet sharpened to wound Antonio Banderas’ character, it’s an indirect reference to the film “A Knight’s Tale” (2001), where the blunt tip is removed from the hero’s lance during a crucial duel, again featuring Sewell. Similarly, at the end of the film, Armand lectures Zorro about having “lost everything” for the sake of his mask; Sewell’s character says the same thing to Ledger when he is in prison.

Similarly, at the end of the film, Armand lectures Zorro on how he 'lost everything' for the sake of the mask, echoing what Sewell's character says to Ledger while he is in the dungeon.
