John Carter ジョン・カーター (5)

ジョン・カーター
カーターが目覚めたとき、彼はデジャの部屋に案内されていた。召使の女たちがそこを離れた後、デジャはカーターに彼のメダリオンを与え、地球に帰ることを話す。デジャが部屋を離れた後、カーターは女使用人に化けたシャンに捕らえられる。

ゾダンガの違う姿において、シャンはカーターにテムの目的、いかにして彼らが違う文明を操作しているかを説明する。カーターはウーラのおかげで脱出することが出来、カーターとソラは彼らの助けを必要とするタークスに戻る。そこで彼らはタルハジュスが政権を握っていることを知る。カーターとソラは闘技場に立たされ、二頭の醜い化け物、四本腕の大きな白猿と戦うことを強要される。

When Carter awakens, he is guided to Dejah's room. After the servant girls leave, Dejah gives Carter his medallion and tells him to go back to Earth. As Dejah leaves with Sab Than, Carter is captured by Shang in the form of a servant girl.

In different Zodangan forms, Shang explains to Carter the purpose of Therns and how they manipulate the civilizations of different planets. Carter is able to make an escape thanks to Woola as he and Sola go back to the Tharks requesting their help. There, they discover Tarkas has been overthrown by Tal Hajus. Tarkas, Carter, and Sola are put on trial in a Colosseum battle with two enormous vicious creatures, the four-armed Great White-Apes.

After defeating them and easily killing Hajus, Carter becomes the leader of the Tharks. The Thark army charges on Helium and defeats the Zodangan army by killing Sab Than, while Shang escapes.

Carter marries Dejah and becomes prince of Helium. On their first night, Carter decides to stay forever on Mars and throws away his medallion. Seizing this opportunity, Shang, in the form of a Helium Guard, sends him back to Earth. Carter embarks on a long quest, looking for clues of the Therns' presence on Earth and hoping to find one of their medallions; after several years he appears to die suddenly and asks for unusual funeral arrangements — consistent with his having found a medallion, since his return to Mars would leave his Earth body in a coma-like state.

He makes Burroughs his protector, giving him clues about how to open the tomb. The film reverts to the present, where Burroughs runs back to Carter's tomb and opens it, only to find it empty. Shang, in the form of a man with a bowler hat, then appears, having followed Burroughs. But as he prepares to kill Burroughs, Carter appears and shoots Shang, killing him. Carter then tells Burroughs that he never found a medallion.

Instead, he devised a scheme to lure a Thern into revealing himself in order to get that Thern's medallion. Carter takes Shang's medallion, whispers the code, and is then transported back to Barsoom.
