When Scottish general Macbeth encounters a trio of witches, they tell him that he is destined to be King. Filled with ideas of grandeur and power, Macbeth seeks the advice of his wife, the Lady Macbeth, and together they concoct their wicked plot.
With King Duncan slain, Macbeth takes the throne of Scotland, but the paranoia of success soon corrupts his mind. He believes the ghosts of his wrongdoings are following him everywhere, and a madness soon takes over.
As Macbeth descends into tyranny and his wife into torment, the future of Scotland is threatened. Superstition and anxieties are rife, and Macbeth soon discovers that he can trust nothing and no one.
Shakespeare’s incredible tragedy is just as popular now as it was 400 years ago, and has been brought to the silver screen by director Justin Kurzel. Filmed mostly on location in Scotland, this is a rich and lavish production of the play that has inspired actors and actresses for generations.
Starring Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future Past) in the leading role, alongside Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night) as the ambitious Lady Macbeth, Macbeth is a thrilling and dramatic retelling of a truly classic tale.
