Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) is a bounty hunter in the American West and South in 1858, just three years before the start of the Civil War. He seeks out Django (Jamie Foxx) because Django can identify the Brittle Brothers, Schultz's latest quarry. Schultz offers Django a deal: $25 for each of the Brittle Brothers bagged and his freedom. Django accepts and proves his worth to Schultz as a partner as the pair bag the Brittles and evade proto-KKK members. Upon hearing what Django wants to do with his freedom-to travel to Mississippi to find out where his wife Broomhilda was sold and free her-Schultz offers Django another deal. Django will become Schultz's partner for two years, giving him a chance to learn the bounty hunting trade, and Schultz will help Django find and free his wife.![]()
