Django Unchained

Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchainedstars Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him

face-top-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Schultz is on the

trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his

bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon

the capture of the Brittles--dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free

Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead,

Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side.

Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and

rescuing Broomhilda, the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and

Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie, the proprietor of

"Candlyand", an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false

pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted

house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on

them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose

between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.
