The incredible story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, told by his peer and secret rival Antonio Salieri - now confined to an insane asylum.
Antonio Salieri believes that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music is divine and miraculous. He wishes he was himself as good a musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. He began his career as a devout man who believes his success and talent as a composer are God's rewards for his piety. He's also content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer of Austrian Emperor Joseph II. But he's shocked to learn that Mozart is such a vulgar creature, and can't understand why God favored Mozart to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made him an enemy of God whose greatness was evident in Mozart. He is ready to take revenge against God and Mozart for his own musical mediocrity.

=========================================================
Ceský režisér Miloš Forman našel behem svého amerického pusobení osobní téma v zápase výjimecného jedince s predstaviteli politické i jiné moci. Ideální látku objevil v divadelní hre Petera Shaffera Amadeus, která se od svého uvedení v roce 1981 stala hitem svetových scén. Geniální skladatel Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart se v ní stane obetí vražedných intrik svého kolegy, dvorního skladatele Antonia Salieriho, jenž nedovede unést tíhu závisti a vlastní prumernosti. Práve Salieri je – navzdory titulu – hlavním hrdinou divadelního i filmového príbehu. Skladatel, posedlý touhou po uznání a sláve, kvuli splnení svých snu uzavre smlouvu s Bohem. Ten však zbožnému komponistovi nadelí jen prumerné hudební nadání. Geniálními schopnostmi naopak obdarí samolibého, nevycválaného a nafoukaného hejska jménem Mozart. Salieri se chce Bohu za tuto zradu pomstít tím, že jeho milácka zprovodí ze sveta…
