The film begins as they travel on horseback to <a href="/wiki/Elsinore" class="mw-redirect" title="Elsinore">Elsinore</a>, contemplating fate, memory and language. Rosencrantz finds and continually flips a coin which always comes up heads, causing Guildenstern to conclude that something is wrong with reality. </p><p>They meet a travelling troupe of tragedians on the way, and during their conversation with the lead Player, they are mysteriously transported into the action of <i>Hamlet</i> at Elsinore. They wander around the castle, trying to catch up to the action and understand what is going on by listening to other parts of the play. They are asked by the Danish royal couple to stay awhile in order to help find out the cause of, and hopefully the cure for, Prince Hamlet's gloomy state. They spend their time outside the scenes in <i>Hamlet</i> trying to figure out what is wrong with the prince and what is required of them. </p><p>The remainder of the play follows the <a href="/wiki/Shakespeare" class="mw-redirect" title="Shakespeare">Shakespearean</a> drama whenever the two characters are "on stage", while the title heroes remain largely occupied with the futile hazards of daily life whenever the "main action" is elsewhere. Soon the very same theatre troupe arrives to perform at court, as part of the Bard's tragedy. </p><p>The Player simultaneously castigates them for abandoning their real play on the road, which cannot exist without an audience, and explains some of the plot and logic of conventional rules of plot-staging and -writing. </p><p>Ultimately, they are sent to England and outside the action of the play again. The final part takes place on the ship to England, where they read the letter they are to deliver with Hamlet – discovering that it is an order for his death. They decide to pretend they never saw it. Hamlet replaces the letter, and (as described in Shakespeare's play) escapes on an attacking pirate ship. </p><p>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern worry about what they are to do now that Hamlet is gone, unaware that Hamlet has altered the letter so that it calls for their deaths rather than his own. The Player finishes the action by reading the letter that sentences them to death. Guildenstern, still trying to struggle against destiny, stabs The Player with the other man's dagger, only to find that the weapon is a theatrical prop. </p><p>Scenes of the deaths of Ophelia, Laertes, Gertrude, Claudius and Hamlet are shown, and both <a href="/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern" title="Rosencrantz and Guildenstern">Rosencrantz and Guildenstern</a>, finally accepting their fate, are hanged. The film ends with the tragedians packing up their cart and continuing on their way. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rosencrantz_%26_Guildenstern_Are_Dead_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gary_Oldman" title="Gary Oldman">Gary Oldman</a> as <a href="/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern" title="Rosencrantz and Guildenstern">Rosencrantz</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tim_Roth" title="Tim Roth">Tim Roth</a> as <a href="/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern" title="Rosencrantz and Guildenstern">Guildenstern</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Dreyfuss" title="Richard Dreyfuss">Richard Dreyfuss</a> as The Player</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Iain_Glen" title="Iain Glen">Iain Glen</a> as <a href="/wiki/Prince_Hamlet" title="Prince Hamlet">Hamlet</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ian_Richardson" title="Ian Richardson">Ian Richardson</a> as <a href="/wiki/Polonius" title="Polonius">Polonius</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Donald_Sumpter" title="Donald Sumpter">Donald Sumpter</a> as <a href="/wiki/King_Claudius" title="King Claudius">Claudius</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Joanna_Miles" title="Joanna Miles">Joanna Miles</a> as <a href="/wiki/Gertrude_(Hamlet)" title="Gertrude (Hamlet)">Gertrude</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Joanna_Roth" title="Joanna Roth">Joanna Roth</a> as <a href="/wiki/Ophelia" title="Ophelia">Ophelia</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Burgess_(actor)" title="John Burgess (actor)">John Burgess</a> as Ambassador from England</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sven_Medve%C5%A1ek" title="Sven Medvešek">Sven Medvesck</a> as <a href="/wiki/Laertes_(Hamlet)" title="Laertes (Hamlet)">Laertes</a></li></ul></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Daniel_Day-Lewis" title="Daniel Day-Lewis">Daniel Day-Lewis</a> was to be cast as Guildenstern, but abruptly halted his acting career due to stress.
