Macbeth, army commander in the service of King Duncan, is prophesied by three witches that he himself will become king. But the price is high, and his bloody path of self-destruction soon begins.

Urged on by the ambitious Lady Macbeth, he commits murder and treason to secure his power. But his actions catch up with him when he is forced to face off against his adversary Macduff and an insurgent army. The tragedy reaches its climax in a devastating battle that seals Macbeth's downfall and makes Malcolm, the murdered king's son, the new king of Scotland.
