,,, this is going to take a lot of work,,,

Warning: Spoilers
I remember seeing this in theaters when it came out,, hard to believe that was 23 yrs ago!

Don Diego de la Vega fights for the people as the masked hero Zorro for many yrs. After one last ride to save innocents and drive away a tyrannical dictator,, de la Vega is content to put his alter ego in the past and be a devoted husband and father. Unfortunately for him and his family,, his past comes calling,,,

Alejandro Murrieta, along with his brother, always admired and rooted for Zorro as he fought for the people. The Murrieta bros even helped Zorro escape capture/death once (earning a medallion from Zorro as thanks for their assistance). In the present day, they have made a name for themselves as theives, and are pursued by the authorities. Alejandro's brother sacrifices himself to those authorities so his little brother can escape with his life,, leaving Alejandro alone and looking for revenge,,,

After 20 yrs of confinement, de la Vega is able to escape his captivity. Will he be able to find and defeat the man who took the last 20 yrs of his life from him? Will he get his revenge?

The character of Zorro could not have been more perfectly cast, imo. This movie is a 7.5!
