As civil war comes to an end, the Scottish King Duncan’s generals, Macbeth and Banquo, meet three mysterious Sisters who prophesy that Macbeth will, one day, become the King of Scotland. His ambition whetted, Macbeth is no longer satisfied to remain loyal to his sovereign; the seeds of deadly conspiracy are sown. Fate plays its part as the King decides to pay a visit to Macbeth’s castle, in tribute to his general’s wartime valor.
Macbeth takes his wife, Lady Macbeth, into confidence regarding the Sisters’ prophecy; together, they hatch a plot to kill Duncan and implicate his servants in the murder. As the hour of reckoning approaches, Macbeth has misgivings about killing the king, but Lady Macbeth exhorts him to remain steadfast to his purpose. The bloody, treasonous act is carried out; upon discovery of the body, Macbeth murders Duncan’s helpless servants, to cover his tracks.
Duncan’s sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, flee the castle in fear for their lives, arousing suspicion that they had a hand in their father’s murder.
Macbeth assumes the Scottish throne, and he and Lady Macbeth take up residence at Dunsinane, the royal castle. But the crown lies uneasy, as paranoia grows in the new monarch.
The Sisters have prophesied to Macbeth’s comrade Banquo that he “shall get kings, though (he himself) be none.� In order to secure the throne for his descendants, Macbeth orders the killings of Banquo and his son Fleance; Macbeth’s henchmen ambush and kill Banquo in a forest, but Fleance escapes.
