Screen icon Charlton Heston stars in and directs this 1972 lavish spectacle where Shakespeare's romantic tragedy comes to vivid life.

The classic Shakespearean tale of an elderly king dividing his throne to his three daughters, and all the chaos and betrayal that follows.

Convinced he's born to rule, Macbeth ruthlessly seizes control of the kingdom, but politics, violence and his conniving wife threaten to destroy him.
