Plot: Nursing a silent, long-unrequited adoration for his beloved Roxanne, sadly, Cyrano de Bergerac, a chivalrous swordsman and tortured poet, dares not voice his fervent feelings for her. But Cyrano is a lion on the battlefield; so, how can he feel incapable of expressing his affection? As one thing leads to another, and beautiful Roxanne finds herself smitten with the handsome but inarticulate recruit Christian de Neuvillette, Cyrano must swallow his pride, swear to keep the secret to the grave and offer to ghostwrite ardent love letters for his charming opponent. However, cruel, unexpressed love has never stopped growing in the duellist's sad heart. Can Cyrano summon up the courage to confess his profound feelings? How much longer must he endure the pain of longing??
Alternative Plot: Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her -- and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).
