    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Screenwriter Jay Wolpert came up with the idea, not present in the novel, that Fernand Mondego (Guy Pearce) and Edmond Dantes (Jim Caviezel) started out as best friends. His logic was that it would work better as a "buddy" film that turned sinister. Wolpert believed that when a friendship soured, the hate generated was both more terrible and more believable.
    • Goofs
      On the island of Elba the Emperor addresses one of the English soldiers as "Lieutenant Graypool" twice when he is clearly wearing sergeant stripes. This name and rank also appears in the credits.
    • Quotes
      • Edmond: Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you: as Albert Mondego, the man!
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove two shots of a man hanging to avoid giving children the impression that a person can hang for some time with no ill effects and in order to obtain a PG classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.
