It was directed by Geoffrey Wright and features an ensemble cast led by Sam Worthington in the title role.

Wright and Hill wrote the script, which—although it uses a modern-day Melbourne gangster setting—largely maintains the language of the original play.

[2] In a cemetery, the Weird Sisters, three school girl witches, are destroying and defacing headstones and statues, while close by Lady Macbeth weeps beside a headstone marked "beloved son" and Macbeth stands by.

During this drug trip Macbeth meets the three witches, who prophesy that he will soon be in Duncan's position with control over the gang.

Malcolm, Duncan's son, immediately suspects Macbeth as having something to do with his father's death and flees.

Lady Macbeth has become more insane, re-imagining the evening of Duncan's killing and tries to wash off his blood from her hands.

The two murderers, realising the unlikeliness of surviving the attack, swiftly flee Dunsinane leaving Macbeth with only Seyton, his main bodyguard, and two others.

He stumbles upstairs to his bedroom, where the body of Lady Macbeth lies, and dies at her side.
