The Iron Mask (1929) is a sweeping silent‑era swashbuckling adventure starring Hollywood legend Douglas Fairbanks, directed by Allan Dwan. Adapted from the works of Alexandre Dumas, the film serves as a grand finale to Fairbanks’ silent‑film career and a spiritual successor to his earlier hit The Three Musketeers.
The story follows d’Artagnan and the Musketeers as they uncover a royal conspiracy involving a kidnapped prince and a mysterious prisoner forced to wear an iron mask. Filled with swordfights, intrigue, romance, and lavish sets, The Iron Mask stands as one of the most ambitious and emotionally resonant silent adventure films ever produced.
