Taking Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth and setting it in a '70s fast-food burger joint, SCOTLAND, PA (2001) transforms a grim tale of unchecked kingly ambition and murder into a modern story of young passion, madness, and aspirations to be general manager—all with a side of fries. Norm Duncan (James Rebhorn) has a revolutionary idea to turn his failing restaurant around: the drive-through window. But when Duncan passes over Joe “Mac” McBeth (James Le Gros) for a promotion, he and Pat McBeth (Maura Tierney) get rid of Duncan and take over his restaurant. Can Lieutenant McDuff (Christopher Walken) get to the bottom of this grisly, greasy murder?
