Django Unchained is the story of Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a former dentist and now an unorthodox German bounty hunter who is searching for the notorious Brittle brothers to capture and collect the bounty.  In his quest, Dr. Schultz tracks down the Speck brothers who are slave traders transporting a group of slaves from Texas to Mississippi.  Dr. Schultz believes they are transporting a slave named Django (Jamie Foxx) who was a slave on a plantation where the Brittle brothers had worked and may be able to help identify the brothers who have a bounty on their heads.

Dr. Schultz asks the Speck brother if he can talk to one of their slaves named Django and after speaking with him learns that Django does indeed know the Brittle brothers.  Dr. Schultz offers to buy Django from them to help him track down and collect the bounty.  Dr. Schultz tells Django he is a bounty hunter chasing John, Ellis and Roger Brittle and proposes a deal: if he helps him, he would award him his freedom, a horse and $75 in cash.  Django accepts the deal and Dr. Schultz trains him to be his deputy teaching him to ride and shoot as they travel to Daughtray where the Brittle brothers are believed to be working.

Dr. Schultz and Django track down the brothers and wind up in a gun fight killing all three brothers.  Dr. Schultz being an honorable man keeps his end of the bargain and grants Django his freedom, the horse and the money.  Grateful, Django tells Dr. Shultz that he plans to use the money to buy the freedom of his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), who along with Django were sold separately by his former owner for trying to escape.  Dr. Schultz proposes another deal to Django: if he teams-up with him during the winter, he would give him one-third of the bounty rewards and after the winter he help him rescue Broomhilda.

As they travel together through the south, Dr. Schultz goes to Gatilinburgh where the main slave auctions take place and learns that Broomhilda was sold to the ruthless Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) who owns a plantation in Mississippi called Candyland.  Knowing they can’t just go in and say they want her, Dr. Schultz plots a scheme with Django so that the Candie will welcome them into this home and they can find a way to purchase her but Candie’s cruel minion Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson) is not so easily fooled.
