    Set in the dazzling yet cutthroat world of 18th-century Vienna, Amadeus tells the captivating story of musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his bitter rival, court composer Antonio Salieri. As Salieri watches Mozart’s extraordinary talent rise, admiration turns to envy, setting the stage for a gripping battle of faith, obsession, and the price of greatness.
