Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is celebrating the 25th anniversary of “The Mask of Zorro” with a new 4K Ultra HD limited edition steelbook. Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, and Catherine Zeta-Jones lead this Steven Spielberg produced action-adventure which follows the original Zorro (Hopkins) as he searches for his kidnapped daughter (Zeta-Jones). He’s aided by his eventual successor (Banderas) who is driven by his own thirst for revenge. It makes for a rousing, old-fashioned swashbuckler that you can revisit in 4K thanks to this terrific new steelbook.
This new 4K Ultra HD Combo-Pack of “The Mask of Zorro” hit shelves on March 7th, 2023. See below for a full synopsis and breakdown of the bonus features.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary. When a power-crazed despot schemes to buy California from Mexico, it takes two Zorros–the legendary Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) and his chosen successor Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas), a dashing bandit-turned-hero– to battle the tyrant’s unscrupulous plans. Can even their combined skills, bravado and derring-do be enough to achieve de la Vega’s ultimate goal: revenge against the man who killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter and held him prisoner for twenty years?

Keith & the Movies 
I’ve always enjoyed this film as I often tend to think that Stuart Wilson is extremely underrated as he’s managed to play 2 great villains in franchises such as this one and Lethal Weapon 3. The sequel was disappointing and kind of a mess despite having some fun moments.
Let’s hope if they revive the franchise. Get a Mexican actor to play Zorro in an origin story. It doesn’t have to be Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna since they’re both busy being in major cinematic universes/franchises. DO NOT GET FUCKING DIEGO BONETA!!!! My father said some things about him ever since he saw him in that bio-pic on Pele and…. well… cancel culture would have a hard time trying to get him to shut up as they’re more likely to be yelled and such if they dealt with him.
I enjoyed it too. It had been a long time before revisiting. The trio of Bandares, Hopkins, and Zeta-Jones were an absolute blast. And something like this would be such a breath of fresh air right now as so many of the franchise movies kinda fall into the same categories.
I’d like to see a new Zorro movie.
That’d be fun!
It should be extra fun as a Scooby-Doo crossover.
