The Magistrate (Rylance) manages an outpost on the frontiers of an unnamed Empire. The state of affairs is pacific and there are only minor misunderstandings. At this point in marches Colonel Joll (Depp) who immediately requests to be briefed on the state of the affairs on the frontiers because of his ignorance. The Magistrate tries his best but Colonel Joll remains pessimistic, apparent when he apprehends, accuses, and incarcerates an innocent man and his nephew for being sheep rustlers. Colonel Joll not only disbelieves in their innocence but proceeds to torture them, resulting in the man’s death. The Magistrate confronts Colonel Joll about the torture and death to which Colonel Joll presents the nephew’s confession to a fantastical notion of a barbarian uprising…
