The original caped crusader is back

 

NEW DELHI: This July HBO promises its viewers an adrenaline rush with swinging swords and fight for love with the action packed Blockbuster of the Month – 'The Legend of Zorro' . Antonio Banderas and Academy Award® winner Catherine Zeta-Jones return for more swashbuckling action, adventure and excitement in this explosive cinematic thrill-ride on 26 July, 2007 at 9 p.m. only on HBO.

The Legend of Zorro is about Alejandro de la Vega (Banderas) fighting injustice and cruelty in past ten years. He is now facing his greatest challenge: his loving wife Elena (Zeta-Jones) has thrown him out of the house! Elena has filed for divorce and found comfort in the arms of Count Armand (Rufus Sewell), 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 country's future at stake, it's up to Zorro to try and save the two unions before it's too late.

Character Description:

Antonio Banderas as Zorro: Zorro (Spanish for Fox) is the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega (originally Don Diego Vega), a fictional nobleman and master swordsman living in Spanish and Mexican-era California. He defends the people of the land against tyrannical governors and other villains, and is not only much too cunning and foxlike for the bumbling authorities to be caught, but delights in publicly humiliating those same foes. Alejandro de la Vega became the heir of Don Diego de la Vega's mask and secret identity.

Catherine Zeta-Jones as Elena de la Vega: Elena is the wife of Alejandro and the daughter of Diego and Esperanza de la Vega. When she was a baby Raphael Montero discovered the identity of Zorro, and acting upon this knowledge had Diego arrested and in the process had Esperanza killed. He then took Elena with him back to Spain, where she grew up thinking he was her father, and that Esperanza had been his wife.

Airdate: Thursday 26 July at 9 P.M.
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones
