The Mask of Zorro is a film starring first Anthony Hopkins as Zorro and later Antonio Banderas as the masked crusader Zorro. The casting in this film is perfect and The Mask of Zorro carries so much wit and charm that you'll be hard pressed to not care about the characters at all. Zorro is a masked vigilante helping out the people. We're first treated to how the first Zorro was arrested and his daughter taken, and twenty years later, he escapes and trains up a new Zorro, taking revenge on the person who wronged him in the first place. The plot is fairly basic but the interactions between characters is the highlight. The action sequences of classic swordfighting and jumping around the terrain doesn't get old. The pacing is solid and only the relationship between the love interest feels a bit superficial since they pretty much fall for each other at first sight.
