Macbeth – Der Königsmörder (1948)
Nach einer gewonnenen Schlacht trifft der schottische Feldherr Macbeth auf drei Hexen, die ihm eine sagenhafte Zukunft prophezeien: Er wird den Thron von Schottland besteigen. Angetrieben von seiner ehrgeizigen Frau ermordet Macbeth daraufhin König Duncan und nimmt seinen Platz ein. Zeugen und Mitwisser lässt er ebenfalls umbringen. Doch während der neue König von Schuldgefühlen und Erinnerungen gequält wird, rüstet Duncans Sohn Banquo eine Armee gegen den Königsmörder.
