The Mask of Zorro
Arriving in theaters 17 years after Zorro, the Gay Blade , 1998's The Mask of Zorro gave us Anthony Hopkins as the classic hero Don Diego de la Vega who we see imprisoned by the corrupt Spanish Governor Don Rafael Montero ( Stuart Wilson ) on Spain's retreat from its former colony. With his wife ( Julieta Rosen ) killed, and his daughter Elena ( Catherine Zeta-Jones ) stolen to be raised by his mortal enemy, Diego remains imprisoned for 20 years when Montero's return gives him a chance at vengeance and to instruct a new pupil ( Antonio Banderas ) in the ways of Zorro.
