The Mask of Zorro (1998) Channel 5, 1pm ★★★★

Martin Campbell’s swashbuckling blockbuster made a star of Spanish actor Antonio Banderas. The film follows Banderas’s Zorro as he helps the original masked vigilante, Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins), to avenge the death of his wife – while accidentally falling in love with his precursor’s daughter (Catherine Zeta-Jones). It’s dramatic and over-thetop fare but no less entertaining for it.
