The year is 1850. The territory of California is seeking to become
the 31st state of the union, but certain unscrupulous individuals,
members of a mysterious medieval organization, are determined to
prevent this event from transpiring.
Once again the masked hero, Zorro, must come to the aid of the
people of California so they can become citizens of the United
States of America.
At the same time, a corrupt robber baron McGivens (Nick Chinlund)
is intimidating the law-abiding residents of California, seizing
their land and threatening their livelihoods.
Again, only Zorro can stop him.
Don Alejandro de la Vega (Antonio Benderas), who inherited the mask
of Zorro, is now married to Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones). They have
a 10-year-old son, Joaquin (Adrian Alonso). The boy misses his
father, who is rarely at home. And when he is, Joaquin finds
himself wishing that Don Alejandro behaved more like his idealized
her Zorro -- having no idea that the two men are the same
person.
Meanwhile, Elena forces Alejandro to choose between his family and
his crusading alter ego. When an unexpected crisis forces Alejandro
to once again don the mask of Zorro, Elena feels betrayed and kicks
him out of the house. Soon after, she serves him with divorce
papers.
When a former schoolmate of Elena's, the French aristocrat (Rufus
Sewell), move to California to start a winery, he is thrilled to
discover that Elena has separated from her husband.
He immediately begins to woo her, while at the same time attending
to his duties as the head of the Knights Of Aragon, a secret
ancient fraternity.
Don Alejandro now finds himself caught in a dilemma between his
obligation to serve the oppressed and threatened people of
California and his responsibilities as husband and father.
