A
former slave and a German bounty hunter become unlikely allies in the battle
against a tyrannical plantation owner in this western from visionary director Quentin Tarantino. Two years before the Civil War pits
brother-against-brother, German-born fugitive hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy
Award-winner Christoph Waltz) arrives in America determined to capture the
outlaw Brittle brothers dead or alive. In the midst of his search, Dr. Schultz
crosses paths with Django (Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx), a freed slave and skilled tracker who seeks to
rescue his beloved wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from ruthless plantation owner Calvin Candie
(Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio). Once Django has aided Dr. Schultz in
coralling the Brittle brothers, the two team up to capture some of the most
wanted men in the South. Meanwhile, Django never loses sight of his mission to
free Broomhilda from the treacherous slave trade before it's too late. Upon
arriving at Candie's nefarious plantation, dubbed Candyland, Django and Dr.
Schultz discover that slaves are being groomed for gladiator-like competitions
by Candie's malevolent right-hand man Billy Crash (Walton Goggins), and together they skillfully work their way
onto the compound for a closer look. But just as Django and his partner locate
Broomhilda and plot a daring escape, Candie's house slave Stephen (Academy
Award-nomineeSamuel L. Jackson) catches wind of their plan, and informs his
master of the betrayal. Now, as a clandestine organization attempts to back
them into a corner, Django and Dr. Schultz will have to come out with pistols
blazing if they ever hope to free Broomhilda from Candyland and the clutches of
its vile proprietor.
