Full Plot Details

It's 1649: Cardinal Mazarin (Philippe Noiret) hires the impoverished D'Artagnan (Michael York) to find the other Musketeers: Oliver Cromwell (Alan Howard) has overthrown the English King, so Cardinal Mazarin fears revolt, particularly from the popular Duke of Beaufort (Eusebio Lázaro). Porthos (Frank Finlay), bored with riches and wanting a title, signs on, but Aramis (Richard Chamberlain), an abbé, and Athos (Oliver Reed), a brawler raising an intellectual son, assist the Duke of Beaufort in secret. When they fail to halt the Duke's escape from prison, the Musketeers are expendable, and Cardinal Mazarin sends them to London to rescue Charles I (Bill Paterson). They are also pursued by Justine de Winter (Kim Cattrall), the avenging daughter of Milady de Winter, their enemy twenty years ago. They must escape England, avoid Justine, serve Queen Anne (Geraldine Chaplin), and secure Beauford's political reforms.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Iain WThe lesser known third Musketeer film based on the book 20 years after, but renamed 'The Return' for the benefit of the American audience!!! Not quite as good as the first two but maintains much of the magic. Overshadowed by the tragic death of Roy Kinnear during filming when he fell from his horse.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VCertainly weaker, but no less enjoyable than the other 2. Great Trilogy!
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DThis is the final Musketeers movie of Richard Lester. It somehow feels a bit forcibly made. Still, it was nice to see the same cast back in action.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael BLong awaited sequal by Richard Lester to 3 & 4 Musketeers.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TRichard Lester reunited the cast of his Musketeers films and ilmed this adaptation of a lesser-known Alexandre Dumas sequel, Twenty Years Later. Michael York, Frank Finlay, Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Christopher Lee, and Geraldine Chaplin all reprise their roles from the originasl film with C. Thomas Howell and Kim Cattral along for good measure. The plot revolves around the machinations of Cardinal Mazarin in France with Cromwell beheading Charles I in England thrown in for good measure. Not as good as THE THREE MUSKETEERS/THE FOUR MUSKETEERS but worth a look if you liked the earlier movies.
User Review - 6/10 by Jonathan SNot nearly as wonderful as its predecessors, but the winning cast keeps the ball rolling.
User Review - 6/10 by Stuart K15 years after Richard Lester did The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974), it seemed very appropriate that they should adapt Alexandre Dumas' 1845 serialised book Twenty Years After, reuniting much of the original cast and crew for this one. It's not as good as the first 2 films, and it plays the film mainly for laughs. It has the greedy Cardinal Mazarin (Philippe Noiret) hiring d'Artagnan (Michael York), and asking that he reunites the other Three Musketeers, Athos (Oliver Reed), Porthos (Frank Finlay), and Aramis (Richard Chamberlain) to work for Mazarin. Matters are complicated when Aramis walks out after a skirmish, and they have to deal with Justine de Winter (Kim Cattrall), who is seeking veagence for the death of her mother. It is fun while it lasts, but it is very patchy, and it's comedic tone is what you'd expect from director Richard Lester's films of the 1960's. Sadly, he quit directing after this, in part due to the tragic on-set death of his friend Roy Kinnear. But, it's fun while it lasts, and even as older men, the Musketeers can still put up a good fight. The supporting cast includes Geraldine Chaplin, Christopher Lee, Bill Paterson, Billy Connolly and Pat Roach!! :D
User Review - 6/10 by Peter CLight hearted romp that's no classic but moves at a lively clip and has a spirtied cast, most returning from the 70's version of The Three Musketeers.
User Review - 6/10 by Phil Htrippin to see the best band of musketeers back together, granted its not as good as before but thats not what this is about, its a fine conclusion to a great franchise of movies considering how long it took to come out
User Review - 6/10 by OHSnappage .Silly, but better than expected. Entertaining for kids.
