Année 1638, la cour de France est en effervescence. Le roi annonce la naissance de son fils, le Dauphin, futur Louis XIV. Mais cet enfant a un frère jumeau que le cardinal Richelieu s’empresse de cacher aux yeux du monde en le remettant à un homme de confiance. Et pour que ce terrible secret ne soit jamais révélé, le second enfant devenu adulte portera un masque de fer qui couvrira son visage royal. Quelques années plus tard, la France est en péril. Le roi Louis XIV se soucie guère de ses sujets, ne songeant qu’à son propre intérêt. Tout semble perdu jusqu’au jour où le secret de l’homme au masque de fer est révélé à D’Artagnan et les trois mousquetaires. Respectant l’esprit romanesque des romans du XIXe siècle, ce film allie faits historiques, actes de bravoure, histoires sentimentales, action et grandeur d’âme.
