In a land ravaged by a deadly pestilence known as the 'Red Death,' Prince Prospero sequesters himself and a thousand nobles in a fortified abbey, believing they can escape the plague's grasp through lavish indulgence. He hosts a magnificent masked ball within the abbey's seven uniquely colored, unsettling chambers, attempting to defy the external world's horrors. However, despite their elaborate precautions and revelry, the inevitability of death infiltrates their sanctuary in the form of a mysterious, terrifying figure who ultimately confronts the prince and his guests, revealing that no one can escape their fate.
