It stars Richard Harris as Claude Frollo, Salma Hayek as Esmeralda and Mandy Patinkin as Quasimodo, the titular hunchback of Notre Dame.

In 1480 Paris, Dom Claude Frollo finds an abandoned, deformed baby boy on the steps of Notre Dame and takes pity on him, believing him to be sent by God.

Gringoire ultimately is nearly hanged by the Roma for trespassing on the Court of Miracles, but Esmeralda says she will marry him in return for rescuing her.

Frollo takes the knife and stabs Minister Gauchére with it, believing the man to be a sinner for reading books other than the Bible.

Frollo, refusing to help clear Esmeralda's name at Quasimodo's insistence, severely whips him.

Hanging Frollo over the edge of a balcony on Notre Dame, Quasimodo forces him to confess his crime to the crowd below.

Believing he will gain absolution for his sins, Frollo shouts "It was I" leaving King Louis XI surprised.

The pair fight, leading to Frollo falling to his death, while Quasimodo narrowly survives by hanging onto the parapet.

Gringoire and Esmeralda ring the bells of Notre Dame in tribute to Quasimodo as he peacefully dies.

Mandy Patinkin had been cast as Quasimodo in Disney's version, but left the role when he clashed with producers over the portrayal.
