A confederate Civil War veteran and gold-miner who is transported to Mars (Barsoom) and through the course of his adventures becomes a hero and Prince on the planet.
Some may be aware that there is a planned film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series of books. The film, which is now in post production, John Carter of Mars, features a couple of former Spider-man actors (Willem Dafoe and Thomas Haden Church) in it's cast and is scheduled to be released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the publication of the first book, A Princess of Mars. You can get a head start on the (possible) plot as some of the books are available to read online for free as they are now in the public domain because their copyright has expired. See the list here. Burroughs also created Tarzan and some of those books are available as well.
Apologies for the awful pun in the title, I can't help myself.
