In 1975, Duncan's, a fast-food restaurant owned by Norm Duncan in the tiny hamlet of Scotland, Pennsylvania, hosts a variety of workers. Adapted from Billy Morrissette's indie film of the same name (and William Shakespeare's Macbeth), the musical comedy tells the story of an ambitious—and bloody-thirsty—couple (the McBeths) running a burger joint in a sleepy Pennsylvania town.
As their ambitions grow and the bodies fall, the couple finds out just how far they’ll go for a taste of the oh-so-tempting American dream. The film stars James LeGros, Maura Tierney, and Christopher Walken. There's a problem loading this menu right now.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020. A tale of unchecked greed and power that can come to no good end. Shamelessly under rated and mostly unknown, this is a hilarious dark comedy take on the Scottish play. While it doesn't completely match up with the actual Macbeth play it is a great parody/satire of the play. Laura Pels Theatre. Malcolm sells the restaurant to the McBeths who immediately realize Mac's ideas, and the restaurant's business takes off. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. And, it is carried off well in this film; check this film out. The character of Macbeth is presented as "Joe 'Mac' McBeth" (LeGros), Lady Macbeth as "Pat McBeth" (Tierney), Duncan as cafe owner "Norm Duncan" (James Rebhorn), Macduff as "Lieutenant Ernie McDuff" (Walken), and Banquo as fry cook "Anthony 'Banko' Banconi" (Kevin Corrigan). Add in the all star cast and perfect 70s soundtrack, and this film is an absolute gem. Mac then kills Banko with the homeless man's gun, and the body is discovered while new celebrity Mac gives a press conference.
