If you always loved the story or movie of the famous Three Musketeers then the latest foray into another adaptation of the story may lead you confused and wondering which among the 2 or more movies really tells the more accurate and detailed story.
Only thing that one might find interesting is the fact that Da Vinci designed flying warships during his time which were made by both the English and French as well as known heroes portray the roles of the villains in this adaptation. Let me provide you with a little teaser or spoiler about what movie is all about.
One year later, the young D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) leaves Gascony for Paris in hopes of becoming a Musketeer, like his father once was, only to learn that they no longer exist. D'Artagnan ends up challenging Captain Rochefort (Mads Mikkelsen), the leader of Richelieu's guard, to a duel after being offended by him, but Rochefort merely shoots him while he's distracted. In an attempt to get revenge, D'Artagnan offends Athos, Porthos and Aramis for petty reasons, and schedules duels with each of them, at the same day and at the same place, but in different times, not knowing who they are. This leads to a battle between the musketeers against the Cardinals guard in which they dispose of them quite easily and after a supposed tongue lashing from the king they were saved by the Queen whom Richelleu then plotted to blackmail.
Later, Richelieu meets with Milady, who is actually working for him. He orders her to plant false love letters among Queen Anne's possessions and steal Queen Anne's diamond necklace and hide it in the Tower of London with the objective of framing Queen Anne as having an affair with the Duke of Buckingham, who is in France on behalf of the King of England, along with a fully armed airship built using the designs stolen from the Musketeers. The affair would force King Louis to execute Queen Anne and declare war on England. At this point, the people would demand a more experienced leader for the country such as Richelieu himself. Before leaving, Milady demands that Richelieu give her an authorization declaring that she was working on behalf of France's best interests.
However, Queen Anne's lady-in-waiting Constance Bonacieux (Gabriella Wilde) discovers his plan and pleads with the Musketeers to stop Richelieu. They follow Milady and Buckingham to London, while Constance is kidnapped by Rochefort for helping the Musketeers to escape from him. Meanwhile, King Louis finds the false letters and is advised by Richelieu to set up a ball in which Queen Anne would be forced to wear the necklace. If she doesn't, then her affair is real, and there will be war.
In London, Milady warns Buckingham of the Musketeers' arrival, claiming that they want revenge for being outsmarted by Buckingham one year prior. Buckingham captures D'Artagnan and prepares to interrogate him when D'Artagnan reveals that he was acting as a decoy to allow the Musketeers to steal Buckingham's airship. They rescue D'Artagnan and capture Milady, who is actually wearing the diamond necklace. She gives them the authorization in an attempt to have her life spared, but jumps out of the airship into the English Channel when she realizes that she has failed.
The Musketeers return to Paris with the necklace, only to be attacked by Rochefort in an airship secretly built by Richelieu when Milady gave him copies of Da Vinci's blueprints as well. Rochefort feigns an attempt to exchange Constance for the necklace in order to capture D'Artagnan, but the Musketeers come to his rescue and the two ships crash in the Notre Dame Cathedral. There, D'Artagnan fights and defeats Rochefort. Meanwhile, Constance returns the necklace to Queen Anne.
The Musketeers arrive at the ball in Buckingham's airship. However, for the sake of King Louis and his people, they claim that Richelieu had built it for the king and had exposed Rochefort as a traitor. To convince King Louis, Athos presents Milady's authorization, which King Louis accepts. Richelieu, impressed by how they handled the situation, offers the Musketeers a place in his army. However, they refuse, infuriating Richelieu, who swears revenge.
Meanwhile, at sea, Milady (who survived her fall) is rescued by Buckingham, who reveals that he intends to avenge her and destroy the Musketeers. It is revealed that Buckingham is advancing towards France with a massive fleet of ships and airships.
