So, what has happened to the Musketeers? Aramis (Irons), Athos (Malkovich), and Porthos (Depardieu) have retired from service. Aramis is now a priest. Porthos spends much of his free time frequenting brothels he owns, though his impotence causes him great suffering. Athos married and had a son that he raised as a single father following the death of his wife. His beloved son Raoul (Creator/PeterSarsgaard) currently serves in the French Army. Only D'Artagnan (Byrne) is still in the service of the King. Enraged by receiving rotten food, starving people march to the gates of Louis's palace, and the guards prepare to fire. D'Artagnan prevents a massacre from occurring, winning over the crowd with his popularity and promise to speak with Louis over the matter. He also thwarts an assassination attempt on Louis by a man who exhorts "feed your people." However, things change abruptly. Raoul is about to marry Christine (Judith Godreche), a woman who Louis wants to add to his stable of mistresses, so Louis has Raoul killed in a UriahGambit, leaving Louis free to seduce Christine. Louis also orders the assassination of whoever is the secret leader of the Jesuits, which happens to be Aramis. Now both Aramis and Athos have reasons to hate Louis, and they recruit Porthos in a plot against him.
Aramis is aware that Louis has a twin brother. Said brother Philippe ([=DiCaprio=] again) is the titular ManInTheIronMask, kept prisoner to prevent him from claiming the throne. He is gentler and more compassionate than Louis. Their plot involves releasing Philippe and having him impersonate Louis, effectively replacing the King with a new one. They will have to face D'Artagnan, who is still loyal to Louis. They will also have to learn a secret Anne of Austria (Parillaud), widow of Louis XIII and mother of the boys, has kept to herself.

* QuestionableConsent: Louis successfully seduces Christine and makes her his mistress but several factors make Christine's consent dubious. Those include the [[DroitDuSeigneur power imbalance between a king and his subject]], Christine's depressive state over the death of her fiancé Raoul, the fact that Louis is her last hope to support her ill sister and mother and him starting to undress her despite her initial reluctance. And that's before we learn that [[UriahGambit Louis deliberatly sent Raoul to die]].
