ZORRO The Original Action Adventure Hero

Before there was Indiana Jones. Before there was James Bond. Before The Lone Ranger. Before Batman, Superman, Spiderman, or Ironman. Before Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader met in a galaxy far, far away. Before James T. Kirk stepped aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. There was ZORRO. 

Zorro is the original action-adventure hero. A handsome caballero consumed by art, poetry, and science by day and a sword-wielding, whip cracking, hero by night. Dressed all in black Zorro fights the tyranny, injustice, and oppression of wealthy landowners and corrupt government officials of Spanish California. He races up and down El Camino Real (The King's Highway) on his coal-black horse at breakneck speed to come to the aid of those in need or to outrun the soldiers who chase after him. While his enemies dream of ending his exploits by running him through with their blade or hanging him with a rope, his dashing and daring escapades ignite romance and passion in the hearts of the beautiful senoritas. Like the treacherous men who pursue him, they too dream of unmasking this fearless rogue. Only, they desire his affections and not his life. 

In recent years, Zorro has returned in all-new stories, both in print and in audio. Read or listen as Zorro outwits vile, scheming men. duels the most skilled swordsmen and romances the most beautiful ladies in all California.

                                                Zorro The Legend Begins Trailer



Alta California - 1820
The Pueblo de Los Angeles is under the heel of a dictatorial Alcalde. Luis Miguel Montero is squeezing the life of out the people. No class is exempt. Peons are being beaten and thrown into prison. Indians are being forced into slave labor. And Rancheros are being taxed out of existence. Conditions are intolerable! California’s largest landowner, Don Alejandro de la Vega, has grown weary of the situation and has summoned his son Diego home from the University of Madrid to aid him in overthrowing Montero’s oppressive regime. But to his surprise, when Diego arrives, he finds his son uninterested the community’s problems and unwilling to take up arms. However, Diego's pretense of pacifism is just a ploy to protect his quick-tempered firebrand of a father from the certain destructive retribution challenging the Alcalde's rule would bring. Rather than face the King's representative in open rebellion, Diego has devised a plan to rid the pueblo of this tyrant. By day he is a man of books - interested only in painting, poetry, music and science. But at night, Diego rides as the masked hero Zorro fighting cruelty and injustice. For Zorro to end this reign of terror, he must outwit the scheming Montero and avoid being captured by Sergeant Garcia, Corporal Reyes and the rest of the pueblo’s Lancers.

Zorro: The Legend Begins is a fun action packed swashbuckling adventure dramatized from an original story and based on characters and situations created by Johnston McCulley. American Radio Theater brings to life a delightfully enjoyable tale that every Zorro fan is sure to enjoy.

Zorro In Stereo - Listen up!

Zorro comes to life in full-cinematic surround sound in three full-cast audio drama presentations. For those who don't know what a full-cast audio drama is it's like an audiobook (book on tape/CD). You might call it audio theater, a radio play, a radio drama, or a movie for your mind. Each character is voiced or played by a separate actor. The performance is delivered similar to that of a theater play or movie. Since their is no picture, you, the listener create the scenes in you mind. Sound effects and music enhance the story as it plays out in your imagination. The crunch of footsteps on gravel as Zorro sneaks into the restricted area of the cuartel, horses hooves thundering past as soldiers give pursuit, muskets booming as they're fired and the clash of steel as swords collide bring excitement and realism to the story in full stereo sound. So LISTEN UP and let your imagination transport you back in time as you follow the exploits of that swashbuckling hero called ZORRO.
