- Two teenagers fall in love, but their feuding families and fate itself cause the relationship to end in tragedy.
- English thespian Sean Pertwee plays the painfully ambitious royal who schemes to murder so he can ascend to the throne in this superior version of William Shakespeare's literary classic. Spurred by the pressure exerted by his equally power-hungry wife, Lady MacBeth (Greta Scacchi), the Thane conspires to kill, but is so overcome with guilt that he's unable to wash the blood off his hands -- literally and figuratively.
- A rich merchant, Antonio is depressed for no good reason, until his good friend Bassanio comes to tell him how he's in love with Portia. Portia's father has died and left a very strange will: only the man that picks the correct casket out of three (silver, gold, and lead) can marry her. Bassanio, unfortunately, is strapped for cash with which to go wooing, and Antonio wants to help, so Antonio borrows the money from Shylock, the money-lender. But Shylock has been nursing a grudge against Antonio's insults, and makes unusual terms to the loan. And when Antonio's business fails, those terms threaten his life, and it's up to Bassanio and Portia to save him.

The film looks at work by AKIRA KUROSAWA, ANDRZEJ WAJDA, ROMAN POLANSKI, PETER HALL, ORSON WELLES and many more. It features interviews and performances from some of the greatest actors who had played the Thane including SEAN CONNERY, ALBERT FINNEY, JOHN GIELGUD, IAN McKELLEN and PETER O'TOOLE.
