"The Man in the Iron Mask" is about an unidentified prisoner who gets arrested in 1669 or 1670 and is subsequently held in a number of French prisons, including the Bastille and the Fortress of Pignerol (modern Pinerolo, Italy). For aging French musketeers, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan, during the reign of King Louis XIV, they act to help the man in the iron mask and work to obtain an explanation concerning the big mystery for unidentified prisoner's personal situation.
The film was released through United Artists and received mixed reviews, but it was a great financial success. It grossed $183 million worldwide against a budget of $35 million.
