This
comedy-adventure is one of several adaptations of
Alexadre Dumas' (pere) classic novel. Provincial swordsman
D'Artagnan (
Chris O'Donnell) travels to Paris to follow in his father's footsteps and become a king's guard, a musketeer. Meanwhile, the evil royal advisor
Cardinal Richelieu (
Tim Curry), with the help of one-eyed
Captain Rochefort (
Michael Wincott), has disbanded the King's bodyguards in his devious attempt to usurp the power of the King (
Hugh O'Conor) and rule France. Three of the musketeers,
Athos (
Kiefer Sutherland),
Porthos (
Oliver Platt), and
Aramis (
Charlie Sheen), escape and partner with
D'Artagnan in an attempt to thwart the Cardinal and his minions, who also include the duplicitous
Milady de Winter (
Rebecca DeMornay). ~ Lisa Kropiewnicki, All Movie Guide
