One for all and all for one! A epic follow up to 1973 The Four Musketeers, reuniting the same A-list cast. With D’Artagnan now officially enrolled in the king’s service, his army besieges the rebels at La Rochelle and Richelieu is determined to prevent any meddling by the English before the city falls. He dispatches Milady de Winter to London with orders to assassinate Buckingham if necessary. But she has a price - carte blanche to dispose of D’Artagnan and Bonacieux as she sees fit. Our heroes, in between dodging musket balls at La Rochelle, must once again outwit the Cardinal’s henchmen to save the day. But this time the stakes are higher. And tragedy is in the offing.

I may as well just repeat what was written about the first film: a brilliant and funny adventure, this time a little sadder and more tragic, yet no less magical. It forms a whole together with the first film, the quality of which breaks the boundaries of time and remains an almost unattainable goal in the field of historical adventure films.
