It stars Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Tim Curry and Rebecca De Mornay.

During a skirmish with mercenaries out for the bounty, the party splits up; D'Artagnan rides ahead to Calais, but passes out from exhaustion and is found by Milady de Winter.

The musketeers retrieve the treaty and Milady is sentenced to death for murdering her second husband, Lord de Winter; just before she is executed, Athos begs her forgiveness.

The two forces battle as Richelieu takes the king and queen hostage, shooting Aramis in the chest before fleeing to the dungeon, however, his crucifix stopped the bullet and all three musketeers rush through the prisons in pursuit.

The boatman then reveals himself as Aramis, who takes out the guards and moves to apprehend the Cardinal, but King Louis punches Richelieu himself, knocking him into the river.

The TriStar adaptation was set to be written by Joel Gross and directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, and was to be more adult-oriented and faithful to Alexandre Dumas' original novel than the Disney version.

William Baldwin, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Cary Elwes, Robert Downey Jr., and Gary Oldman were also sought out by Disney for parts in the film.

Disney President David Haberman hired Caravan Pictures under Joe Roth and Roger Birnbaum to produce the film.

[3] Disney decided against shooting the film on-location in Paris because much of the city's French Baroque architecture had been destroyed in World War II.

[4] The Three Musketeers was highly anticipated after Disney announced that its September 1993 test screenings for the film showed the most positive response it had ever received from an audience.

The site's critics consensus reads: "Its starry trio of do-gooders may promise to fight 'one for all, all for one,' but this Three Musketeers is a slickly unmemorable update bound to satisfy very few.

Janet Maslin of The New York Times described the movie as "Conceived frankly as a product, complete with hit-to-be theme song over the closing credits, this adventure film cares less about storytelling than about keeping the Musketeers' feathered hats on straight whenever they go galloping.

"[8] Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune wrote that "The new Walt Disney version of The Three Musketeers-plushly mounted, but ineptly written and cast-gallops along like a gargantuan tutti-frutti wagon running amok.

The director, Stephen Herek, would have been smart to take more of his cues from Platt’s performance; on the few occasions when the film slips into brattish MTV knowingness, it at least has its own cheeky flavor.

But neither Platt nor Sheen — the two comedians here — gets enough to do, and the movie turns into a sketchy, no-frills retread of the musketeer myth, as joyless a retro-swashbuckler as Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood.

Despite Tim Curry’s dutiful mugging as the evil Cardinal Richelieu (by now, these 'scene-stealing' villains are every bit as predictable as the heroes they’re supposed to be upstaging), the castle-intrigue stuff is bland, and the swordplay is poorly filmed, with too much chop-chop editing and too many close-ups.

"[10] Chris O'Donnell was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award as Worst Supporting Actor for his work in the film, but lost to Woody Harrelson for Indecent Proposal.

[12][13] Bryan Adams co-wrote "All for Love" with Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Michael Kamen for the movie's end credits, performing it with Rod Stewart and Sting.
