The Prisoner of Zenda
Directed by Rex Ingram
Produced by Metro Pictures Corporation
A swashbuckling adventure of mistaken identity and political intrigue where a commoner impersonates a king, navigating assassination plots, royal duty, and unexpected romance.
A kingdom's ascending heir, marked for assassination, switches identities with a lookalike, who takes his place at the coronation. When the real king is kidnapped, his followers try to find him, while the stand-in falls in love with the king's intended bride, the beautiful Princess Flavia.
