Edgar Rice Burroughs, who is the nephew of the rebel widower veteran of
the Civil War and gold hunter John Carter, has to attend the funeral of
his uncle after his sudden death. He receives from John Carter's
attorney his diary and weird instructions to be followed, and Edgar
immediately starts reading the journal. In 1868, the Colonel Powell
tries to force John Carter to join the army to fight against the Apache
and arrests him. However, John Carter escapes and Powell chases him.
They are attacked by the Apache and they hide in a cave. They are
surprised by a Thern and John Carter kills him, and the alien's
medallion transports John Carter to Mars. John has the ability to jump
high and has his strength increased due to the gravity of Mars. However,
he is captured by the Tharks and becomes their prisoner. He learns that
Mars, called Barsoon, has been at war for thousands of years between
the Helium and Zodanga, and this war is destructing the planet. The evil
leader of Zodanga, Sab Than, has received a powerful weapon from the
Thern Matai Shang. However, Sab Than proposes peace if he marries the
Helium Princess Dejah Thoris. However, John Carter and Dejah Thoris fall
in love with each other, and he decides to help the Helium people
against the Zodanga people. But Matai Shang sends John Carter back to
Earth and his last chance to return to Mars depends on his dear nephew's
attitude.

Captain John Carter was a great warrior when he fought for his cause,
the Confederate States of America, during the Civil War. He was really
disappointed when the Confederates lost the war to the Union, but what
hurt him most of all was the death of his family (a wife and a daughter)
by an ungrateful Union troop. From both the Confederates defeat and,
more to the point, the death of his family, he decides not to give a
damn about anything worthwhile on the planet and to only look out for
himself. Three years later, in 1868, when trying to live a normal live
by claiming gold for himself, he ran away for safety when encountered by
the Apache Indians in the Arizona territory. He hid in a cave, where he
found mystic cave drawings and gold. While in there, he was surprised
by an appearance of a Thern and John kills him. The alien's medallion
transports John Carter to Barsoom (a.k.a. Mars). He was then taken
prisoner by another alien race, known as Tharks. He soon escapes and is
caught in a great war fought between the red-skinned humans of Helium
and Zodanga. Throughout the course of the film, John Carter has to learn
the importance of the cause the people of Helium are fighting for and
to put away his selfishness and fight for the ones he loves and for the
freedom of Barsoom. This is how John Carter of Earth became John Carter
of Mars.
