It has been 20 years since Don Diego de la Vega successfully fought Spanish oppression in California as the legendary romantic hero Zorro. Imprisoned for two decades, he must now find a successor to stop Don Rafael Montero -- the powerful former Spanish governor of Alta, California, who cost him his freedom, his wife, Esperanza, and his daughter, Elena. He chooses Alejandro Murieta, a bandit with a troubled past, and transforms him into the new Zorro who, he hopes, will help him foil Montero's scheme to purchase California from Mexico's president, General Santa Anna. Tracing the heroic story of these highly charged relationships, the film follows the new Zorro as he assumes de la Vega's mantle, enters into a romantic relationship with a woman close to his predecessor's heart -- and "with the slash of a steel blade and the mark of a 'Z,' defends the weak and exploited and avenges the wrongs committed against them."
