Al Pacino vise à présenter la vision populaire de l'œuvre de l'écrivain William Shakespeare, à travers des séquences filmées de la pièce de théâtre Richard III, jouées par une troupe d'acteurs (Al Pacino interprétant dans ces scènes le rôle de Richard III), et des interviews d'acteurs, de spécialistes du théâtre, ou d'inconnus interrogés dans les rues new-yorkaises. Il y a juxtaposition des scènes de répétitions de la pièce de Shakespeare Richard III et des parties où il est question de la mise en scène.
