Based on the real life of an ordinary horse-dealer cheated by a state official, Michael Kohlhaas is a brutal story of alienation from a corrupt system. When his attempts to claim his rights are thwarted by bureaucracy and nepotism, Kohlhaas vows to take justice into his own - increasingly bloody - hands. Will he be remembered as a dangerous enemy of the peace, or a vigilante hero?
