• Macbeth je odvážny generál, verný kráľovi Duncanovi a Škótsku. Po jednej bitke proti kráľovým nepriateľom stretne tri zlé čarodejnice. Tie mu povedia, že Macbeth bude jedného dňa kráľom Škótska. A tak sa začína príbeh ambícií a zla, ktorý zahŕňa hlavného hrdinu a jeho vypočítavú ženu, Laby Macbeth. Nasleduje strašné násilie, vraždenie, šialenstvo, a to vedie k sebadeštrukcii.
