3 Musketeers is a direct-to-video action film by The Asylum loosely based on the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. The film is directed by Cole McKay and is a mockbuster that was released shortly after the Paul W. S. Anderson film The Three Musketeers. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 25, 2011.[1]

Unlike other adaptations of The Three Musketeers, this film is a modern take on the original story.

Premise

[edit]

Legendary black ops unit, The 3 Musketeers (master strategist Oliver Athos, enigmatic martial arts expert Renee Aramis and wisecracking hacker Isaac Porthos) attempt to save a passenger airplane that gets shot down over North Korea. They barely escape with their lives before Secret Service rookie Alexandra D'Artagnan is sent to investigate a government coup and enlists their help.

Set in the near-future United States, D'Artagnan uncovers a corrupt general and his plans to assassinate the President of the United States. There is a plan to instigate a government coup in order to install a military regime, so D'Artagnan and the three infamous international spies work together to stop the threat.
