I saw this movie on a Christmas special, as a kid I loved it, now as an adult I have to admit that it's weaker then I remembered but still enjoyable.
Don Diego return to California from Spain only to find out his father is no longer the acalde of his pueblo, and the new acalde is cruel to his people and his commander Esteban is a ruthless fencing master. Don Diego has no choice but to pretend he is a spineless buffoon but when he put in his mask and sword he becomes the friend of the people and hero Zorro.
It is the same story as the 1940s Zorro movie, but made for TV. Frank langella do a great job as the hero of this movie, and with the music score from the original 1940 the movie is faithful to ththe story.
