The story

The film opens in Paris in the year 1480 with a prologue establishing a world where the Catholic Church holds absolute power and suppresses modern ideas like the printing press. On the steps of Notre Dame Cathedral, Dom Claude Frollo (played by Richard Harris), the archdeacon, discovers a severely deformed baby abandoned in the rain. He takes pity on the child, names him Quasimodo, and decides to raise him within the cathedral's walls.
